Important: EU261 compensation (€250–€600) may be reduced or not applicable if the airline proves extraordinary circumstances (e.g. severe weather, war, security threats, air traffic control strikes). However, your Right to Care is always guaranteed regardless of extraordinary circumstances — airlines must provide meals, hotel accommodation, transport, and communication during any disruption. The Montreal Convention (up to €7,700) also applies to all international flights for proven damages with receipts, independent of extraordinary circumstances. SkyAid assesses every available compensation route for your claim.

Emirates Flight Compensation — EU261 & Montreal Convention Rights

Emirates cancelled compensation: If your Emirates flight was cancelled with less than 14 days notice, you are entitled to €250–€600 under EU261 depending on flight distance, plus Right to Care (meals, hotel, transport) regardless of the reason for cancellation.

Emirates delayed compensation: For delays of 3+ hours at arrival, EU261 entitles you to €250–€600.

What if Emirates claims extraordinary circumstances?

Even when Emirates invokes extraordinary circumstances, the Montreal Convention still applies for up to €7,700 in proven expenses regardless of cause. When Emirates departs from an EU or UK airport, Right to Care (meals, hotel, transport) is always guaranteed under EU261/UK261. SkyAid challenges airline defences and recovers everything you are owed.

What happens if I missed my connection on Emirates?

If you missed a connecting flight because Emirates delayed your first leg, compensation is based on your total journey distance (origin to final destination), not individual segments. This often means a higher payout than you expect. You also get free rebooking, Right to Care while waiting, and Montreal Convention expenses up to €7,700.

What does SkyAid charge for Emirates claims?
