Know your rights
These are your air passenger rights:
Sometimes it’s not immediately clear whether your flight qualifies for compensation. When the cause of the delay or cancellation is uncertain, the following general rights still apply.
Your right to care, rebooking, or refund is always guaranteed under EC 261, UK 261, ANAC 400, SHY-PASSENGER, GACA, and the Montreal Convention.
Whether you qualify for monetary compensation depends on the reason for the disruption — this can take time for authorities or the airline to confirm.
Causes like technical faults, crew issues, or operational errors usually make your flight eligible.
However, weather conditions, security threats, or air-traffic restrictions often fall under extraordinary circumstances, which may exempt airlines from paying compensation.
Tip: Keep all travel documents and receipts. You may later prove that your case qualifies for compensation.
Rerouting or refund
If your flight is canceled, you are entitled to a new flight or a refund.
Care and assistance
If your flight is delayed by more than two to four hours, your airline must provide food and drink vouchers.
Accommodation
For overnight delays, airlines must provide hotel stays and transfers, regardless of whether compensation applies.
Communication
You have the right to two phone calls or emails during extended waiting times.
