Whether your flight was delayed, canceled, or you were denied boarding, the law provides clear compensation thresholds depending on the distance of your flight and the duration of the disruption. Here’s what you could be entitled to:<\/p>

1. Flight Delays: Compensation for Long Delays<\/h4>

If your flight is delayed by more than 3 hours, you’re legally entitled to compensation. The amount depends on the flight\u2019s distance:<\/p>

  • Up to 1,500 km: \u20ac250<\/li>
  • 1,500 to 3,500 km: \u20ac400<\/li>
  • More than 3,500 km: \u20ac600<\/li><\/ul>

    Important: Delays are only compensable if the delay exceeds 3 hours and is not due to extraordinary circumstances, such as extreme weather. But rest assured, technical failures and airline-related issues are not considered extraordinary, and you should be compensated. Our team will carefully assess your case to determine whether you qualify for compensation based on the specifics of your delay, including any exceptions that might apply.<\/p>

    2. Flight Cancellations: Know Your Rights<\/h4>

    If your flight is canceled and you were not informed at least 14 days before departure, you’re entitled to compensation. The amount depends on the distance of the flight:<\/p>

    • Up to 1,500 km: \u20ac250<\/li>
    • 1,500 to 3,500 km: \u20ac400<\/li>
    • More than 3,500 km: \u20ac600<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Additionally, you may also be entitled to meals, accommodation, and alternative travel arrangements if the airline is at fault. If the cancellation is made less than 14 days before departure, compensation is guaranteed unless the cancellation was due to extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather or natural disasters.<\/p>

      3. Denied Boarding: Get Compensated for Overbooking<\/h4>

      Overbooking is a common reason passengers are denied boarding, but if this happens to you, you have rights. If you’re denied boarding involuntarily, compensation is based on the flight distance and the delay to your final destination:<\/p>

      • Up to 1,500 km: \u20ac250<\/li>
      • 1,500 to 3,500 km: \u20ac400<\/li>
      • More than 3,500 km: \u20ac600<\/li><\/ul>

        In addition to compensation, you may also be entitled to reimbursement for any extra expenses caused by being denied boarding. This also applies if the denial was due to the airline\u2019s fault, such as overbooking.<\/p>

        \u00a04. Extraordinary Circumstances: Understanding the Limitations<\/h4>

        Airlines are not required to compensate passengers for disruptions caused by extraordinary circumstances, such as severe weather, natural disasters, or air traffic control strikes. However, airline errors (e.g., technical failures) are not considered extraordinary, meaning you may still be entitled to compensation. Our team at Aireclaim specializes in challenging airline claims of extraordinary circumstances, ensuring that they don\u2019t evade their responsibility to compensate you.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
