When Are You Entitled To Virgin Atlantic Flight Compensation?


EU Regulation EC 261/2004 establishes criteria that determine eligibility for a Virgin Atlantic compensation claim when the regulation applies to your route.

Flight Disruptions

Under EU Regulation EC 261/2004, passengers may be eligible for compensation if arrival at the final destination is delayed by more than 3 hours and the disruption was within the airline’s control. Airlines must also compensate passengers denied boarding due to airline overbooking when the regulation applies.

Schedule Change

For a schedule change with less than 14 days’ notice on a flight covered by EU Regulation EC 261/2004, you may qualify for compensation or a refund, depending on the circumstances.

Flight Cancellations

To be eligible for cancellation compensation under EU Regulation EC 261/2004, you must receive less than 14 days’ notice and the cancellation must result in a significant arrival delay, unless a qualifying alternative flight was offered.

Extraordinary Circumstances

In circumstances beyond the airline’s control, such as severe weather or security risks, passengers are not eligible for compensation under EU Regulation EC 261/2004.
