Flight Delayed or Cancelled with Air China? You May Be Eligible for Compensation
When Flights Go Wrong
Even the best laid plans can go terribly wrong with flight disruptions. However, if your Air China flight was a disaster, you might not be leaving empty handed.
Are You Covered Under EU Law?
EU Passengers travelling with a non-EU carrier (eg Air China) are covered by Regulation (EC) No 261/2004.
Your Right to Compensation
This specific framework helps guarantee that travelers are compensated when flights are either delayed, canceled or overbooked.
Most certainly this will apply to situations where:
- Delay of more than three hours upon arrival at the destination
- Flight cancellation less than 14 days before scheduled departure
- Denied boarding due to overbooking
In case of you flight being cancelled for above reason then Air China is obligated to either refund you or offer alternative route at equivalent conditions. In case of long delays, passengers are also entitled to meals and drinks, free communications, hotel when needed.
Know your passenger rights and they are one step ahead in protecting your travel. Read more about your flight if you think you might be entitled to compensation. For example, services such as Skycop free eligibility checks allow you to check your case and claim without having to pay.
Your Rights as an Air China Passenger: Compensation for Flight Disruptions
Air China is the flagship airline of the People's Republic of China. It operates an extensive international network to/from many destinations in Asia, Europe, the Americas and beyond. It is well known for its extensive long-haul routes and hub network connecting most of Europe to China.

In the event of a delay or cancellation caused by the airline, you are entitled to a refund or replacement ticket. Passengers are also entitled to free meals, drinks and access to communication if the delay is more than 2 hours. The airline also provides accommodation and transport to a hotel in the event of long delays.
-
In cases where your flight is delayed by more than three hours, compensation may be available.
-
If your flight is cancelled without at least 14 days' notice, you may be able to get a refund or rebook your ticket.
-
If you are denied boarding due to insufficient seats, Air China is required to provide certain services - rebooking, reimbursement or even a full refund (your choice).
Under the EU Air Passenger Rights Regulation, in certain cases, passengers flying from the EU to a destination in China or other countries may be entitled to compensation from Air China for flight disruptions if there is a very long delay or cancellation (including denied boarding).

Missed an Air China Connection? Your Rights & Alternative Flights
Missed connection compensation could be an option if you wеre late for your nеxt flight by the airline`s fаult. In such cаses, the carrier should hеlp you continue your originally bookеd trip.

Compensation Eligibility: When Can You Claim?
EU departure flights from any Air China destinations, you may be entitled to compensation if your arrival at final destination was more than 3 hours late; cancellation less than 14 days notice or denied boarding due overbooked (occupancy penalty). So, you may be entitled for overbooking compensation for flights from an EU airport.
Compensation is only when Air China is the one breaking terms of the contract, not when it is caused by extraordinary events such as weather issues outside their dictate. There are various situations where compensation should not normally arise. This list comprises weather, political and civil disruptions, immediate safety related threats from other than aircraft or some other extraordinary emergency situations such as volcanic eruptions and big system failures for which the airline is also not responsible.
Air China may provide an alternative route if a flight is disrupted. If your rescheduled flight actually arrives to the same final location just slightly delayed, the compensation may be reduced or null. Skycop is also available to check if your case does qualify and submit the claim accurately for you.

The amount of compensation you are entitled to will depend on how long the delay was and if Air China caused it.
Eligibility
If this describes your situation, you may well be entitled to compensation.

- The delay was because of events beyond the control of Air China (technical problems or operational difficulties etc.)
- Your flight departed from an airport located in the European Union.

- Your booking confirmation or flight reference
- The original boarding pass from the delayed flight
- Documented actual departure and arrival times
- Any official notices or emails from Air China about the disruption
Compensation Amount
These compensation amounts are determined by the distance flown - not the price you paid for your ticket.
- €250 for flights up to 1,500 km
- €400 for flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
- €600 for flights over 3,500 km
Alternative Flights

Compensation Amounts for Air China – How Much Can You Get?
Maximum compensation of €600 available if you have an Air China flight that got cancelled or delayed from an EU airport Departure.

Nevertheless, your compensation will be halved if you are rebooked on a different flight that arrives pretty near your first one.
