Delays in Flights and Your Rights

Compensation

If flights are delayed for more than three hours, passengers are often entitled to compensation between 210 and 520 euros.

Assistance and Reimbursements

In the event of delays at departure, passengers have the right to assistance, reimbursement, and a return flight depending on the duration of the delay.

Core Principles

Flight delay compensation is intended to compensate passengers for lost time and hold airlines accountable for timely arrivals.

Compensation Amounts

Compensation of up to 520 euros can be claimed if the delay is within the airline's control, based on the distance and destination of the flight and the duration of the delay.

Exceptions

Airlines are not obligated to provide compensation for delays beyond their control, including those caused by severe weather or air traffic control issues.
