Several factors determine eligibility for delayed flight compensation. Under EU Regulation 261/2004, the airline must be responsible for the delay. Airlines may offer alternatives such as vouchers, sometimes in exchange for waiving your right to monetary compensation. Before accepting such offers, review the terms carefully. You can submit your flight details on our website to check whether your flight qualifies.

If you choose re-routing and select a more expensive option than your original ticket, you may be responsible for any fare difference, depending on the circumstances. If you prefer not to travel, you may request a refund for the unused portion of your ticket. Under US law, refunds are generally required when a flight is cancelled and you choose not to accept rebooking, but compensation for cancellations is not guaranteed unless EU Regulation 261/2004 applies.

EU Regulation 261/2004 also provides that if the airline cancels your covered flight without at least 14 days’ notice and the cancellation was within the airline’s control, you may be entitled to compensation of up to $650 (€600), in addition to a refund or re-routing. Airlines must provide a way for passengers to submit claims, but the process may not always be simple.

There are exceptions known as extraordinary circumstances that relieve the airline from paying compensation. If the cancellation was caused by factors outside the airline’s control, such as severe weather or certain air traffic control restrictions, compensation is generally not required under EU Regulation 261/2004. In some cases, whether circumstances qualify as extraordinary may depend on specific facts.
