When you finally want to embark on the long-awaited holiday or go back home after a city trip, you usually trust that the booked flight takes off in time. Yet somehow there are various reasons which cause flight delays, cancellations or a missed connection. In those cases, passengers have extensive rights as laid down in the EU regulation 261/2004 from 2005 – a compensation after a flight delay is at least a small redemption.
When you demand a compensation after a flight delay, problems occur quite often because airlines seldom pay voluntarily. Claims are regularly denied with reference to "extraordinary circumstances", even though the airlines have actually been responsible. This is where Flightright comes into play: we represent your air passenger rights and claim your right to compensation, if need be also in court. You will never bear a cost risk. Our expertise enables us to argue more professionally than individual consumers. With Flightright you save unnecessary paperwork and stress. Our experienced travel law experts make sure that you get what you are entitled to. You only pay us in case of success - we assume the cost risk.
In order to obtain compensation in case of a flight delay or cancellation, certain conditions need to be fulfilled: the flight needs to start or land in an EU member country. In the latter case, the airline executing the flight has to reside in the EU. This means that not only flights within Europe can be affected. If you, as a passenger, have a valid reservation and checked in on time, you are generally on the safe side. If an airport or air space is closed off and delays occur, you can receive a ticket refund, but usually not compensation. A cancellation due to technical problems, on the other hand, is a different story: the airline has to prove that they are not responsible for this fault. Otherwise compensation between €125 and €600 is due. Additionally, the airline may have to offer other services such as phone calls or meals for example.
