Flight compensation – when canceled or delayed

To make up for your time lost and your extra costs, you can usually claim flight compensation if your flight is canceled or delayed. How much and which kind of compensation you will receive depends on a number of different reasons, for example which part of the world you are traveling to/from, which airline you use and the cause of the delay/cancellation.

If your flight is delayed or canceled, we recommend that you turn to your airline to learn what possibilities you have for compensation.

Why is my flight delayed/canceled?

There are a number of different reasons that can cause flights to not be able to depart on time – or at all. One reason that occurs sometimes is bad weather conditions, either at your departing airport, on the way or at the destination. Good to know is that weather disruptions usually don't qualify as a reason for flight compensation.

Another reason for canceled flights are staffing shortages. This is a reason that can be sufficient for compensation, but it varies between airlines. The delays can also have to do with for example problems with the air traffic control or mechanical failures.
