Understanding Flight Delay and Cancellation Claim Regulations

A commercial airplane is stationary at the gate of an airport. The aircraft's tail, with distinctive red, white, and blue stripes, is partially visible.

Understanding Your Air Passenger Rights

Air passenger rights are protections established to ensure travelers are treated fairly and receive compensation when flights are disrupted or property is lost or damaged. While the specifics vary by country, these regulations generally safeguard passengers in cases of delays, cancellations, and mishandled baggage.

No matter where you’re from or which airline you’re flying, you are entitled to certain rights, often dictated by the laws of the country from which your flight departs.

Surprisingly, many travelers—up to 85%, according to studies—remain unaware of their rights. This lack of awareness can lead to missed opportunities for compensation or accepting less than they’re entitled to.

If you’ve experienced a delayed or canceled flight, there’s a good chance you’re owed compensation. Organizations specializing in air passenger rights can help you understand your entitlements and guide you through the claims process.
