EU Regulation 261/2004

Understand the EU rules that may apply when your flight is disrupted.

When the rules apply

Coverage depends on your departure and arrival airports and the operating airline. Flights departing the EU and certain flights arriving in the EU can fall within the rules.

Different rights for different problems

A delay, cancellation or involuntary denied boarding may give rise to assistance, rerouting, a refund or compensation. These are separate rights; compensation is not automatic.

What we need to review

Share the route, flight date, operating airline, booking confirmation and the airline’s explanation. The circumstances and any exceptions must be checked before a payment amount is confirmed.

A preliminary check does not guarantee compensation. The applicable rules and flight details need to be assessed.
