Are You Eligible for Flight Delay Compensation?
EU Regulation 261/2004 allows passengers to claim monetary compensation for a flight disruption when either of these these circumstances apply:
- Flight canceled without prior notification of 14 days
- Flight delay was longer than 3 hours
- You were denied boarding due to overbooking
Additionally, your flight must have originated from an EU airport or be serviced by an EU-registered carrier and landed within the EU.
Compensation does not apply if a flight delay happened due to extraordinary circumstances – airport worker strikes, bad weather, political unrest, etc.

Your Rights Under EU Regulation 261/2004
Outside of monetary flight delay compensation, Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers whose flights experience significant delays may also be entitled to refreshments and communication tools starting from a 2-hour delay.
If the flight is cancelled, you are automatically entitled to one of three options:
- re-routing to the same destination
- later rerouting, at the passenger’s convenience
- a refund of the ticket as well as a return flight to the point of first departure
However, if the airport takes appropriate actions, you may not be entitled to flight delay compensation such as when you were notified more than 14 days before departure or if you were notified later, but re-routed accordingly to avoid significant delays.

Frequently Asked Questions
If a missed connection is part of a single itinerary and your flight is delayed by 3 hours or more, then you can claim compensation. Note that all other parts of the regulation apply – if circumstances outside of the airline’s control cause significant delays, for example, you won’t be able to claim compensation.
There are no one-size-fits-all deadlines under the regulation, so it depends on your jurisdiction. However, a good rule of thumb is about 2-3 years for delayed flights.
No, EU Regulation 261/2004 applies for any significantly delayed flights, irrespective of booking type. Flight delay is considered the responsibility of the airline, so as long as you’re flying, then the regulation applies.
Yes, EU Regulation 261/2004 protects your rights even after airline bankruptcy as long as your flight is delayed by more than 3 hours. In practice, however, you may be considered an unsecured creditor during insolvency proceedings, which makes it unlikely that you’ll recover the full amount (if any).
No, we take no upfront fees when you submit a flight delay claim. Just have your documents such as a boarding pass prepared to fill out any required details.
