Did you know that as an air passenger in the EU, you have rights that protect you in case of flight disruptions? Under EU Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, you may be entitled to compensation of up to €600 per passenger for flight delays, cancellations, denied boarding, or missed connections. Yet, millions of travelers remain unaware that they could claim this money — and many miss out on what they rightfully deserve.

Section 1: Who Can Claim Compensation?
Flight disruptions happen — but when they do, you might be owed money. EU Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 outlines exactly when passengers are eligible to claim up to €600 in compensation. Here’s a quick breakdown of the most common situations:
✅ Delayed Flights (3+ Hours Delay)
If your flight arrives at its final destination 3 hours or more later than scheduled, you may be entitled to compensation — depending on the cause of the delay.
❌ Cancelled Flights (Less Than 14 Days’ Notice)
If your flight was cancelled and you weren’t informed at least 14 days in advance, you could qualify for compensation, especially if the airline didn’t provide a suitable alternative.
⛔ Denied Boarding (Overbooked Flights)
If you were denied boarding due to overbooking, even though you had a valid ticket and arrived on time, you’re likely eligible for compensation.
🔄 Missed Connections (Due to Delays or Cancellations)
Missed a connecting flight because of a delay or cancellation earlier in your journey? If all flights were part of the same booking, you may still be entitled to claim compensation.

Your Legal Protection: EU Regulation 261/2004
Under EU Regulation (EC) No 261/2004, passengers flying from the EU or arriving in the EU with an EU airline are entitled to financial compensation if their flight is delayed, cancelled, overbooked, or if they miss a connection due to airline fault — as long as certain conditions are met.
How Much Can You Claim?
The amount of compensation depends on flight distance and length of delay:
| Flight Distance | Delay | Compensation |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 1,500 km | 3+ hours | €250 |
| 1,500 – 3,500 km | 3+ hours | €400 |
| Over 3,500 km (within EU) | 3+ hours | €400 |
| Over 3,500 km (non-EU) | 3–4 hours | €300 |
| Over 3,500 km (non-EU) | 4+ hours | €600 |
💡 Important: Compensation is not owed in cases of extraordinary circumstances, such as extreme weather or political instability.
