Europe: EU261
Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 covers flights leaving an EU airport on any airline, and flights arriving in the EU on an EU airline. If you arrive 3 hours or more late for a reason within the airline’s control, it owes you:
| Flight distance | Compensation |
|---|---|
| Up to 1,500 km | €250 EUR |
| 1,500 to 3,500 km, and all flights within the EU over 1,500 km | €400 EUR |
| Over 3,500 km, except within the EU | €600 EUR (the airline may halve it if you arrive between 3 and 4 hours late) |
Weather, air traffic control restrictions and other extraordinary circumstances are excluded. The airline also owes meals and, if you have to stay overnight, a hotel and transport.
The 2026 reform
EU institutions reached a provisional deal in June 2026 that keeps the 3-hour threshold and the €250 EUR to 600 amounts. It still needs formal adoption, so the current rules apply to every flight today.
