You were not allowed to fly because the airline sold more tickets than there were seats on the plane.

Your overbooked flight was to/from EU

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

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

When are you not entitled to overbooked flight compensation?

There are several circumstances under which the airlines are not responsible for the flight disruption - and the flight is not eligible for flight compensation!

Volunteer

You volunteered to give your seat up in exchange for voucher or any other benefit.

Passport issues

You were denied boarding because you showed up too late at the gate, or you did not have the correct documents.

Duplicated compensation

You have already received compensation for this overbooked flight from airline.

Non-EU flight/operator

If your flight is to the EU, but your carrier isn’t registered in the EU, the flight is not considered for compensation.

FAQ

My flight was overbooked. What information should I have to support my overbooking claim?

To support your overbooking claim, you should have your flight booking confirmation, boarding pass, and any documentation related to the airline’s compensation policies and procedures.

Can I get denied boarding compensation because of overbooking? What are my other rights?

In this case, you can expect to:

  • Recover the full price of the ticket within 7 days from the date of the incident
  • Get a ticket on the next plane to your final destination, under similar terms
  • Select a later flight under similar conditions.

If you choose to travel on a different route, and you have to wait, the carrier is required to provide you with free meals and drinks, access to two free calls, let you use email or send a free fax. When you have to wait for a flight for one or more nights – you must be granted free accommodation in a hotel, including transport to/from the airport.

Can I keep track of the actions Skycop compensation specialists take so that I know the progress of my claim?

You are entitled to compensation if your flight was disrupted due to the airline’s fault, and the disruption fits the criteria listed in the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004.
