Important: EU261 compensation (€250–€600) may be reduced or not applicable if the airline proves extraordinary circumstances (e.g. severe weather, war, security threats, air traffic control strikes). However, your Right to Care is always guaranteed regardless of extraordinary circumstances — airlines must provide meals, hotel accommodation, transport, and communication during any disruption. The Montreal Convention (up to €7,700) also applies to all international flights for proven damages with receipts, independent of extraordinary circumstances. SkyAid assesses every available compensation route for your claim.

American Airlines Flight Compensation — EU261 & Montreal Convention Rights

American Airlines cancelled compensation: If your American Airlines flight was cancelled with less than 14 days notice, you are entitled to €250–€600 under EU261 depending on flight distance, plus Right to Care (meals, hotel, transport) regardless of the reason for cancellation. The Montreal Convention provides additional coverage of up to €7,700 for proven damages on international flights.

American Airlines delayed compensation: For delays of 3+ hours at arrival, EU261 entitles you to €250–€600. For delays of 2+ hours, Right to Care kicks in — meals, refreshments, hotel if overnight, and transport. The Montreal Convention covers up to €7,700 in proven damages for any international American Airlines delay.

How Your American Airlines Claim Works

Step 1: We identify which laws protect your flight

American Airlines operates worldwide. When your flight departs from an EU or UK airport, EU261 or UK261 gives you €250–€600 in fixed compensation. For all other international routes, the Montreal Convention is your primary protection — up to €7,700 for proven expenses. SkyAid checks every available route.

Step 2: We calculate your total recovery

The Montreal Convention covers what you actually lost — non-refundable hotels, missed events, wasted tours, business meeting losses, food and transport costs. No travel insurance needed. This is international law that applies to every international flight regardless of where it departs. Keep all receipts.

Step 3: We handle the airline

Airlines outside the EU often ignore passenger claims entirely. SkyAid knows how to enforce Montreal Convention rights against any airline worldwide. We have 15 years of experience navigating different jurisdictions and legal systems to recover your money.

Step 4: You get paid, we take our fee

No win, no fee. Fees from 20%. Zero upfront cost. When we recover your compensation and expenses, payment goes to your account. If we do not win, you owe nothing. That is how confident we are in your claim.
