📋 What is EU261 & UK261 Flight Delay Compensation?
EU261 (European Union) and UK261 (United Kingdom) are passenger protection regulations that require airlines to pay compensation for flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding. Both laws provide identical compensation amounts and passenger rights.
✅ Your Flight is 100% Covered if:
- Departing from EU/UK airport (any airline, any destination)
- Arriving in EU/UK on EU/UK airline (from anywhere)
- Delayed by 3+ hours at final destination
- Delay caused by airline, not extraordinary circumstances
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How is flight distance calculated for compensation?
Distance is calculated “as the crow flies” between airports using the great circle distance method. For connecting flights, it’s the total journey distance. Examples: London-New York = ~5,500km (€600), Paris-Istanbul = ~2,100km (€400), Madrid-Rome = ~1,365km (€250).
Can I claim for old delayed flights?
Yes! You can claim for flights delayed up to 6 years ago in most countries. Time limits vary: Germany (3 years), UK (6 years), Netherlands (5 years). It’s always worth checking older flights.
Do I get compensation for each passenger?
Yes! Each passenger with a valid ticket gets individual compensation. A family of 4 on a delayed long-haul flight could receive €2,400 total (4 × €600). Children and infants with their own seats also qualify.
What if the airline offered vouchers or rebooking?
Accepting vouchers, meals, or rebooking does NOT waive your right to EU261/UK261 compensation. You can still claim the full amount you’re legally entitled to.
