FAQ

My flight has been delayed. Am I eligible for compensation?

If you reached your final destination with a delay of more than 3 hours, you are entitled to get compensation from €250 to €600. The delay should not be caused by extraordinary circumstances:

  • unfavorable weather conditions
  • strike
  • risk of act of terrorism

If the delay is more than 2 hours, you are entitled to additional support from the airline:

  • free phone calls
  • free refreshments
  • free meals
  • free accommodation
  • free transfer to accommodation

We already submitted a claim to the airline, and they rejected. Can you help?

This is a normal situation, since airlines hardly ever agree to pay at once. Our experience working with airlines lets us maximize the chances to get compensation before court. If the airline still rejects to pay, we may involve third parties to prepare for court procedure to ensure successful resolution of the case.

Do I have to be a EU or Turkey citizen to be eligible for the compensation?

No. You can claim your compensation without holding a EU or Turkey citizenship, which does not affect the implementation of the regulation.
