Under EU Air Passenger Rights regulations all airline passengers are protected. Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 which enshrines in law the rights of air passengers flying into and out of Europe.
Whilst there are hundreds of cancelled and delayed flights each week, few people are aware of their statutory rights – and therefore are not claiming compensation of up to €600 per passenger for delayed and cancelled flights.
In addition, most people are unaware of their legal rights. Do you know your rights and how much compensation are you entitled to?
Remember EU & UK flight compensation law is complicated – here are a few key points about EU air passenger rights
Under EU air passenger rights rules you have a legal right to make a compensation claim for flight delays or cancellations
Firstly, in the UK and the EU, there are regulations protecting all air passenger rights
Additionally, the airline must be at fault for the flight delay, otherwise no claim is valid
Also, for airline caused delays of 3 hours you can claim up to €600 per passenger
And additionally, exact delayed flight compensation value depends on flight distance & delay duration
Shorter flights with delays of 2 hours+ require airlines to provide meals & refreshments vouchers & offer hotel, transport and telephone services for overnight delays
Under EU air passenger rights regulations you can claim up to £520 per passenger if you have been delayed or cancelled under certain conditions.
And whilst flight delays are fairly straightforward, equally importantly, the lesser known regulations for cancelled flights and alternate flight departure and arrival times are sometimes overlooked.
Moreover, you may be entitled to 50% of the standard claim value in these cancelled flight situations. Therefore, it might just be worth making a cancelled flight compensation claim.
Don’t do what 80% of qualified claimants do – Put of making the claim! The best time to claim is right after your flight has landed. With YouClaim it’s quick n easy to submit your claim – it only takes a few minutes.
