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.
