Frequently Asked Questions
Clear facts about European & International air passenger compensation rights.
What conditions qualify for €250 to €600 compensation?
You qualify if your flight departed from any EU/UK airport (with any airline), OR arrived in the EU/UK on an EU/UK licensed airline (e.g. British Airways, Air France, Lufthansa), and arrived at your final destination 3 or more hours late, was cancelled with less than 14 days notice, or you were bumped due to overbooking.
Can I still claim if the airline gave me food vouchers or hotel rooms?
Yes! Meals, refreshments, and hotel accommodation are part of the airline's mandatory “Duty of Care”. Receiving food vouchers or hotel stays does NOT waive your statutory right to €250 to €600 cash compensation.
What if the airline blames “Technical Problems”?
The European Court of Justice has repeatedly ruled that regular technical faults, aircraft maintenance issues, and crew shortages are part of the airline's normal operations and are NOT considered “extraordinary circumstances”. You are legally entitled to compensation.
How far back in time can past flights be claimed?
Statutes of limitations vary by jurisdiction: in the United Kingdom you can claim flights up to 6 years back; in Germany, Spain, and France up to 3 years back; and in Italy up to 2 years back. If you suffered a delay in recent years, you can still collect your money today!
