Airline Compensation Simplified – Your Rights, Your Money

Air travel has revolutionized the way we connect with the world, but it isn’t always smooth sailing. Flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding can disrupt your plans, cost you money, and cause significant frustration. However, you might not know that you have legal rights as an air passenger, and in many cases, you are entitled to financial compensation.

At AirlineClaims.us, we believe every passenger deserves fair treatment and transparency. Our mission is simple: to help you understand your rights and secure the compensation you are owed without hassle or stress.

Understanding Air Passenger Rights

Passenger rights are protected under key regulations, including:

  • EC Regulation 261/2004 (EU Law): This law applies to passengers traveling within the EU, departing from the EU, or arriving in the EU on an EU airline. It covers delays, cancellations, and overbooking.
  • Montreal Convention: An international treaty that guarantees compensation for losses due to flight delays, cancellations, or baggage issues on international flights.
  • US Department of Transportation (DOT): In the US, air passenger rights vary depending on whether you're on a domestic or international flight.

These regulations were designed to ensure that passengers are fairly compensated when their travel plans are disrupted.

When Can You Claim Compensation?

You may be entitled to compensation in the following scenarios:

  1. Flight Delays: If your arrival at your final destination is delayed by 3 hours or more.
  2. Cancellations: If your flight was canceled less than 14 days before departure.
  3. Denied Boarding: If you were refused boarding due to overbooking.
  4. Missed Connections: If a delayed flight caused you to miss a connecting flight, resulting in a significant delay at your final destination.

Compensation Under EC 261/2004:

  • $300: Short-distance flights (under 1,500 km)
  • $500: Medium-distance flights (1,500–3,500 km)
  • $700: Long-distance flights (over 3,500 km)
