According to the EU regulation, you are entitled to a flight delay compensation if: 1. Your flight was delayed; 2. Your flight was to or from the EU; 3. Your flight delay was the airline's fault.

A flight is considered to be delayed if your scheduled flight landed at the final destination late by more than 3 hours.

Your Delayed Flight Was To/From the EU

Your delayed flight was from or within EU or arrived to EU and was operated by an EU airline.

Your Delayed Flight Was From Or Within The EU

Your flight departed from an airport in an EU country and landed anywhere else in the world.

Your Delayed Flight Arrived To EU And Was Operated By An EU Airline

The Delayed Flight Was The Airline's Fault

Operational Issues

The flight was not able to arrive on time because the airline messed up with the crew planning.
