In which cases is there a right to compensation?
Any flight that arrives at its destination with a delay of at least 3 hours, is canceled less than 14 days before departure or is denied boarding is entitled to compensation, provided that the causes of the unforeseen event are attributable to the airline and fall within the scope of EU regulations. In exceptional circumstances, the airline is exempt from paying compensation. The flight must have taken off or landed in a European country; in the latter case, the airline’s registered office must also be in an EU member state. The amount of compensation does not depend on the price of the ticket or the reason for the trip, and the claims apply to flights that are no more than 3, 5, and 6 years old in Germany, France, and the UK, respectively. Important: Do not let your airline excuse you! Hotel or meal vouchers or gift vouchers do not release the airline from paying your compensation.

- Delays: Your flight has arrived at its destination more than 3 hours late.
- Cancellations: You were informed of the cancellation less than 14 days before departure.
- Overbooking: The airline overbooks your flight and you can no longer find a seat on board.
