Tips to Minimize the Impact of Flight Disruptions at Madrid Airport

Even a small wait can create big inconveniences and expenses for your travel plans. It's important to remain calm and take steps to minimize the possible damage from the delay.

  • Stay updated on flight status. Follow the announcements on airport boards and online. If Madrid airport departures are canceled or hold for longer than three hours, ask for a written confirmation.

  • Contact the airline for amenities. Carriers are required to provide passengers with care services, such as phone calls, catering, and transport. Find the check-in counter of your carrier and claim your services.

  • Save documents and record conversations. Travel tickets, booking confirmations, receipts, and all other documents might be useful later when you file for a claim.

How Much Can You Get For Flights Disrupted at Madrid Airport?

When Are You Not Entitled to Flight Compensation?

  • Incidents at the Airport

    Regulation (EC) 261/2004 rules that operations-related incidents are beyond the control of airlines. Therefore, you may not receive a reimbursement. However, that doesn't mean that the airline shouldn't take care of you!

  • Strikes at the Airport

    A Madrid airport strike is a real possibility that can lead to air travel disruptions and cancellations. Strike Madrid airport affects flights to and from the airport. Regulation (EC) 261/2004 rules that airport staff strikes are outside of airline control. Therefore, a flight delayed or canceled for this reason is not eligible for a monetary settlement.

  • Bad Weather Conditions

    In cases of bad weather, the airline has little choice but to start flight delays or even cancel a passenger's departure. As the airlines can't control the weather or Madrid airport closed, regulation (EC) 261/2004 allows them not to be responsible for flight disruptions that result from bad weather.
