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.

Qantas Flight Compensation — EU261 & Montreal Convention Rights

Qantas cancelled compensation: If your Qantas 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. The Montreal Convention provides additional coverage of up to €7,700 for proven damages on international flights.

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

Qantas Compensation FAQ

How much Qantas compensation can I get?

Qantas is based in Australia. When your Qantas flight departs from an EU or UK airport, EU261/UK261 gives you €250–€600 in fixed compensation. For all international Qantas flights, the Montreal Convention covers up to €7,700 in proven expenses — missed hotels, wasted bookings, lost business meetings, food, transport, and communication costs. No travel insurance needed.

How many Qantas flights have been disrupted recently?

In the last 90 days, Qantas has recorded 151 flight disruptions — 0 cancellations and 0 delays. Every affected passenger may be entitled to Qantas compensation. SkyAid checks your flight automatically.

What expenses can I claim for a Qantas disruption?

Under the Montreal Convention, you can claim up to €7,700 for proven expenses caused by any international Qantas flight disruption. This includes non-refundable hotel bookings, missed tours and events, wasted restaurant reservations, lost business meetings and conference fees, cruise departures, wedding costs, food, taxis, and phone calls. Keep all receipts — SkyAid claims these on top of your fixed compensation. See the full breakdown of claimable expenses.

What if Qantas claims extraordinary circumstances?

Even when Qantas invokes extraordinary circumstances, the Montreal Convention still applies for up to €7,700 in proven expenses regardless of cause. When Qantas 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 Qantas?

If you missed a connecting flight because Qantas 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 Qantas claims?

No win, no fee. SkyAid charges from 20% of the compensation recovered. If we do not win your Qantas claim, you pay nothing. No upfront costs, no hidden fees. We handle all communication with Qantas and any legal proceedings on your behalf. See our fee structure.

About SkyAid

How Your Qantas Claim Works

Step 1: We verify your EU261 eligibility

Qantas is an EU-regulated airline. Every flight departing from an EU or UK airport qualifies for EU261 protection automatically. SkyAid checks your flight number, delay duration, and route distance to calculate your exact compensation — €250, €400, or €600. No guesswork, no insurance needed.

Step 2: We check for Montreal Convention expenses

Most passengers stop at EU261. SkyAid also reviews your trip for Montreal Convention claims — missed hotels, wasted bookings, lost business, food and transport you paid out of pocket. These proven expenses can add up to €7,700 on top of your EU261 payment. Keep every receipt.

Step 3: We challenge extraordinary circumstances

Airlines reject valid claims by calling everything extraordinary circumstances. Technical faults, crew shortages, and operational failures are NOT extraordinary — EU courts have ruled on this repeatedly. SkyAid knows which defences hold up and which do not. If the airline is wrong, we pursue it.

Step 4: You get paid, we take our fee

SkyAid works on a no win, no fee basis with fees from 20%. If we recover nothing, you pay nothing. When we win, the compensation goes to your account and our fee is deducted. No upfront cost, no financial risk for you.
