1 How It Works

If your international flight was delayed or cancelled, and Czech Airlines/Smartwings couldn’t get you to your destination in time, you have the legal right to rebook yourself and claim the cost back.

🎭 Prague Spring Festival Example:

Technical problems delayed your Prague-Paris flight by 6 hours. You missed the Prague Spring classical music festival you paid €520 for. You booked another airline to get there. That’s a valid expense claim.

Czech Airlines (CSA) Compensation FAQ 2025

How does the Czech Airlines transition to Smartwings affect my compensation claim?
Czech Airlines ended operations on October 26, 2024, but this doesn’t affect your compensation rights. Historical CSA flights (2021-2024) and current Smartwings CSA-branded flights are fully covered. The same EU261 and International Flight Protection rules apply. SkyAid handles claims for both periods seamlessly. Your passenger rights remain unchanged regardless of the operational transition.
How does International Flight Protection work with Czech Airlines/Smartwings CSA flights?
International Flight Protection applies to ALL international flights (crossing borders), including virtually all Czech Airlines/Smartwings CSA flights between different countries. You don’t need insurance – it’s automatic protection. For EU departures, you can claim under BOTH EU261 (€250-€600) AND International Flight Protection (up to $8,200) simultaneously. SkyAid expertly handles both to maximize your total recovery. Keep all receipts for International Flight Protection claims.
Can I claim under both EU261 AND International Flight Protection for the same Czech Airlines flight?
Yes! If your Czech Airlines/Smartwings CSA flight departs from EU/UK, you can claim under BOTH systems simultaneously. EU261 gives you €250-€600 fixed compensation, while International Flight Protection can add up to $8,200 for proven damages like missed Prague Spring festivals or European city breaks. SkyAid specializes in stacking these claims for maximum recovery. Important: Keep all receipts for International Flight Protection claims – no travel insurance required.
Do I need travel insurance to claim under International Flight Protection?
No! International Flight Protection is automatic protection for international flights – no travel insurance needed. It applies to virtually all Czech Airlines/Smartwings CSA flights since they cross international borders. This means you can claim up to $8,200 for proven damages (missed events, tour costs, etc.) without any insurance policy. Just keep all receipts and documentation to prove your losses.
What’s the maximum I can recover for a Czech Airlines disruption?
For EU departures: €600 under EU261 PLUS up to $8,200 under International Flight Protection = potentially over $9,000 total recovery for major losses. For non-EU departures: up to $8,200 under International Flight Protection. The key is proving actual damages with receipts like missed Prague Spring festivals, classical music concerts, or European city break tours. SkyAid expertly handles the documentation and legal process. No travel insurance required for International Flight Protection claims.
What are typical Czech Airlines disruption causes I can claim for?
Common Czech Airlines issues included technical maintenance delays (small fleet constraints), operational inefficiencies during restructuring, staff shortages, and crew scheduling problems. Current Smartwings CSA operations may have similar issues during the transition period. All of these are airline responsibility and eligible for compensation under both EU261 and International Flight Protection. Weather delays may limit EU261 but International Flight Protection can still apply for proven damages.
How fast can SkyAid process multiple Czech Airlines compensation claims?
SkyAid processes both EU261 and International Flight Protection claims simultaneously for maximum efficiency. EU261 claims typically resolve in weeks, while International Flight Protection claims take longer due to damage assessment requirements. Our technology and expertise deliver 3x faster results than attempting multiple claims alone or using inexperienced companies. We handle both historical CSA and current Smartwings CSA claims with equal expertise.
