Cancelled Flight Compensation FAQ
How much cancelled flight compensation can I get under EU261?
€250 for short-haul, €400 for medium-haul, €600 for long-haul flights. Per passenger. A family of four could claim up to €2,400. This is separate from your ticket refund.
Which regulation covers my cancelled flight?
It depends on where your flight departs: EU airports → EU261, UK airports → UK261, Turkish airports → SHY-YOLCU, Thai airports → CAAT No. 101, Indian airports → DGCA CAR. ALL international flights are also covered by the Montreal Convention for up to €7,700 in expenses. SkyAid checks all routes automatically.
Can I claim under multiple regulations for the same cancelled flight?
You cannot double-claim fixed compensation (e.g. EU261 + SHY for the same flight). But you CAN claim Montreal Convention expenses (€7,700) ON TOP of any fixed compensation. SkyAid claims under whichever regulation gives you the highest fixed amount, plus Montreal expenses.
What if the airline says extraordinary circumstances?
Extraordinary circumstances (weather, war, security) may block fixed compensation under EU261/UK261/SHY. But Right to Care is always guaranteed (meals, hotel, transport), full refunds are still available, and Montreal Convention expenses can still be claimed. Learn more.
How long do I have to claim cancelled flight compensation?
EU countries: 2–3 years depending on country. UK: 6 years. Turkey: 1 year. Thailand and India: varies. Montreal Convention: 2 years. Claim as soon as possible while records are fresh.
Does SkyAid charge upfront fees?
No. SkyAid works on a no win, no fee basis with fees from 20%. If we do not recover your cancelled flight compensation, you pay nothing. See our fee structure.
