Common Questions About El Al Claims

What compensation am I owed by El Al?

EU261 sets fixed compensation of €250–€600 depending on distance for qualifying El Al flights. Separately, the Montreal Convention lets you claim up to €7,700 in actual proven expenses on any international flight — both apply at once where relevant.

Can El Al refuse to pay by citing extraordinary circumstances?

They can try, but it does not remove your Right to Care — meals, hotel, transport are guaranteed regardless. Montreal Convention expenses up to €7,700 also remain claimable regardless of the cause. SkyAid checks whether the circumstance genuinely qualifies as extraordinary before accepting the airline’s refusal.

My El Al flight was cancelled — what am I entitled to?

Short-notice cancellations (under 14 days) qualify for €250–€600 under EU261, plus Right to Care throughout the disruption. Montreal Convention expenses on top can bring your total recovery well above €7,700 for serious losses.

My El Al flight was delayed — do I qualify?

Delays of 3+ hours at your final destination trigger €250–€600 under EU261. From 2 hours, Right to Care applies. You have up to 6 years to file, and Montreal Convention expenses can be added for international routes.
