Flight cancellation rights

Passenger Rights in the European Union are ruled by  Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 February 2004. This EC 261/2004 Regulation establishes common rules on compensation and assistance to passengers who experience flight problems. Other laws, regulations and Court judgements expanded or clarified those rights. Each EU country might have his own laws but they cannot exclude or even reduce the Consumer Rights provided by EC 261/2004 Regulation.

Compensation Rules

1

Cancellation period:

You may be entitled to a flight compensation, under certain conditions. You may receive €250 or €400 or €600 for your inconvenience. A cancelled flight is considered eligible for financial compensation if it was cancelled less than 14 days prior to departure. You also have the right to reimbursement of the ticket price corresponding to the part of the journey that was not journeyed, as well as the part already journeyed if the purpose of the flight is no longer possible or existent or free rerouting (not necessarily by air route) as soon as possible or at another time if the passenger prefers, either to the final destination or to the original airport of departure.

Besides EU countries, Swiss, Norway and Iceland also adhered to this regulation. Other countries might have similar regulations (Canada, India, USA, Turkey and others) but they are not covered by our services. *All passengers have these rights, even those that are not EU citizens and/or live outside the EU.

Really good, really professional. It's not a quick process. And they take a decent chunk of the payout. But it's totally fair, all things considered. I really appreciate the help.
