How to claim compensation for flight delays or cancellations


Based on EU regulation 261/2004, if your flight was delayed, regardless of the cost of the air ticket, then you are entitled to compensation from €250 to €600.

The amount of compensation for flight delay depends on the distance of the flight and the duration of the delay (see table below).

You can only receive compensation if:

  • Your flight was delayed by 3 hours or more;
  • Your flight was canceled;
  • Your flight was delayed by less than 3 hours, but the delay caused you to miss your next connecting flight and arrive at your final destination more than 3 hours late;
  • You were denied boarding due to overbooking, i.e. due to lack of vacancies;
  • The delay or cancellation of the flight was not caused by bad weather, an airline and airport strike, or other force majeure;
  • No more than 6 years have passed since the voyage

Also, the route and the airline must comply with the requirements of EU Regulation No. 261/2004.
