Delayed or cancelled flight? Winglex helps you claim up to €600 in flight compensation — fast, free, and hassle-free. Here’s everything you need to know.
✈️ Why Do Flights Get Delayed or Cancelled?
From weather disruptions to technical issues, airlines cancel or delay flights for various reasons. But when it’s the airline’s fault — like operational mistakes or staff shortages — you could be entitled to compensation under air passenger rights laws.
📜 Your Rights Under EC 261/2004 (EU Passenger Law)
EU Regulation EC 261/2004 protects you if your flight:
- Departs from or arrives in the EU (on an EU airline)
- Is delayed by 3+ hours upon arrival
- Is cancelled within 14 days of departure
🕒 Flight Delay Compensation Amounts
| Flight Distance | Delay Duration | Compensation |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 1,500 km | 3+ hours | €250 |
| 1,500 – 3,500 km | 3+ hours | €400 |
| Over 3,500 km | 3–4 hours | €300 |
| Over 3,500 km | 4+ hours | €600 |
❌ Cancelled Flight Compensation
If your flight is cancelled less than 14 days before departure, you may be eligible for up to €600 in compensation—unless:
- The airline offers a suitable alternative flight
- The disruption is due to extraordinary circumstances (e.g. extreme weather)
🛠️ What Airlines Must Provide During Delays
Even if you’re not entitled to monetary compensation, airlines must provide basic support for delays over 2 hours:
- Free meals and refreshments
- Access to phone or email
- Hotel accommodation for overnight delays
- Transport between airport and hotel (if needed)
⚠️ Flight Delay Compensation Myths (Debunked)
- “They gave me a voucher, so I can’t claim compensation.” — You can still claim cash unless you accepted the voucher as a full settlement.
- “It’s just a short delay.” — If you arrive 3+ hours late, you may still get €250–€600.
- “The airline said it’s weather-related.” — Always verify. Not all “extraordinary circumstances” are legitimate excuses.
