Passenger rights - what do you need to know?

Many passengers give up the fight for their money simply because the rules seem too complicated to them. Meanwhile, EU Regulation (EC) 261/2004 provides very precise protection for everyone who has experienced a cancelled or delayed flight through the fault of the air carrier. It sets out the situations in which the airline bears full responsibility for the flight disruption and is obliged to pay compensation. These include, for example, hidden manufacturing defects in the aircraft.

Passengers have one year to report their case. Compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight is also due in the case of charter flights.

Below we have gathered the situations in which the law is absolutely on your side as a passenger!

Compensation in the event of a flight delay

Compensation in the event of a long flight delay is due when you arrive at your destination at least three hours behind your original travel plan.

Compensation is only due if the delay is the airline's fault and was not caused by extraordinary circumstances. These are situations that could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. They include, among others, air traffic control restrictions, security threats and runway closures.

Claiming compensation for a delayed flight - how do you submit a claim?

Remember to keep your travel documents

Boarding pass
Booking confirmation
Emails from the airline
Details of the flight disruption

You can file a complaint for a flight delay in writing or online, directly on the air carrier's website.

Submitting a claim for compensation for a delayed connecting flight is relatively simple. It does, however, require you to gather the right documents and travel confirmations.

To receive compensation, first of all remember to keep the relevant travel documents - your boarding pass, booking confirmation, emails from the airline, as well as any other details of the flight disruption.

If, however, you lack the time and the legal knowledge needed to claim compensation effectively on your own, especially in court, put your trust in the specialists at AirCashBack!
