Delta Air Lines Compensation FAQ

How much Delta Air Lines flight compensation can I get?

For EU261 departures: €250–€600 depending on flight distance. ALL international Delta Air Lines flights are also covered by the Montreal Convention for up to €7,700 in proven damages with receipts. These can be claimed simultaneously. Right to Care (meals, hotel, transport) is always guaranteed.

What if Delta Air Lines claims extraordinary circumstances?

Even when airlines invoke extraordinary circumstances (war, severe weather, security), your Right to Care is still guaranteed — meals, hotel, transport. The Montreal Convention also still applies for proven damages up to €7,700. SkyAid fights these defences and recovers everything you are owed.

How does Delta Air Lines cancelled compensation work?

If your Delta Air Lines flight was cancelled with less than 14 days notice, you are entitled to €250–€600 under EU261 plus Right to Care. The Montreal Convention adds up to €7,700 for proven damages on international flights. SkyAid handles both claims simultaneously for maximum recovery.

How does Delta Air Lines delayed compensation work?

For delays of 3+ hours at arrival, EU261 entitles you to €250–€600. Right to Care kicks in at 2+ hours — meals, hotel if overnight, transport. The Montreal Convention covers up to €7,700 in proven damages for international delays. Claims can be made up to 6 years after the flight.
