💰 What You Get When Airlines Deny You Boarding
Denied boarding triggers some of the strongest passenger protections because it’s almost always the airline’s fault. You get multiple rights simultaneously – and most passengers don’t realize they’re entitled to ALL of this money.
€250-€600 Cash Compensation
Guaranteed compensation amounts for involuntary denied boarding. Unlike delays/cancellations, denied boarding almost always qualifies since it’s rarely due to extraordinary circumstances.
You Get:
- €250 for flights up to 1,500km
- €400 for flights 1,500-3,500km
- €600 for flights over 3,500km
- Cash payment, not vouchers
Priority Rebooking
Airlines must give you priority over other passengers for the next available flight. Same route, same class, no extra charges – you go first.
You Get:
- Next available flight priority
- Same class of service
- No additional charges
- Alternative airlines if needed
Full Refund Option
Instead of rebooking, you can choose 100% ticket refund within 7 days. Your choice – take the new flight or get your money back.
You Get:
- Full ticket price refunded
- All taxes and fees back
- Within 7 days guaranteed
- Your choice: rebooking OR refund
Immediate Care
Airlines must provide immediate care while you wait for your new flight. Meals, accommodation if overnight, transport, and communication costs.
You Get:
- Free meals and refreshments
- Hotel if overnight wait
- Transport to/from hotel
- Phone calls and communication

⚠️ CRITICAL: Voluntary vs. Involuntary Denied Boarding
You only get EU261 compensation for involuntary denied boarding. If you volunteer to give up your seat for airline benefits, you’re not entitled to EU261 compensation (but you get whatever the airline offers instead).
🤝 Voluntary vs. Involuntary Denied Boarding
Understanding the difference is crucial for your compensation rights. Know what you’re entitled to in each situation.
Voluntary Denied Boarding
- You choose to give up your seat
- Airline asks for volunteers first
- You negotiate benefits with airline
- No EU261/UK261 compensation
- But you get what airline offers
- Make sure offer > your EU261 rights
Involuntary Denied Boarding
- Airline refuses you boarding
- No volunteers or not enough volunteers
- You’re selected against your will
- Full EU261/UK261 rights apply
- €250-€600 + rebooking + care
- Plus trip expense claims
💎 BONUS: Claim Your Ruined Holiday Expenses
Denied boarding ruined your vacation? Missed events? Wasted hotel bookings? You can claim compensation for expenses that couldn’t be refunded when denied boarding disrupted your plans.
Tours & excursions wasted
Event tickets & concert seats
Wedding venue costs
Restaurant reservations
Show tickets unused
Sports event seats
Lost contracts
Conference fees paid
Business trip expenses
💡 Key: Trip expenses are claimable under Montreal Convention separately from EU261 compensation!
