Compensation for delays according to passenger rights
The airlines do not like to clarify about it, but there are passenger rights, which are recorded in the EU passenger rights regulation. It states that airlines must provide certain services in the event of unscheduled flight delays or cancellations to passengers. In addition to the supply of snacks and drinks at the airport during the waiting period, the possible costs of an overnight stay and the transfer to and from the hotel must be paid. In addition, the airline has to pay compensation for a delay of three hours. Their exact height depends on the distance of the route. Only in so-called "exceptional circumstances" is the airline exempt from the obligation to pay. These are if they are proven to be responsible for the delay, for example, in extremely bad weather conditions or a strike. You are entitled to the compensation payment if you are traveling with an EU airline or if you are starting your flight with an international airline within the EU.
When are you entitled to compensation?
If you have a flight delay of at least three hours, you have the right to a compensation payment. The amount of this payment is between 250 and 600 euros, depending on the flight distance. With a flight distance of less than 1,500 kilometers you are entitled to 250 euros, at a distance of 1,500 to 3,500 kilometers, it is 400 euros and at more than 3,500 kilometers you have a claim to 600 euros. How much the flight tickt originally tasted, does not matter. This even applies if the compensation amount is ultimately higher than the initial travel costs. The same applies to completely failed flights.

Although the right to compensation is regulated in the Passenger Rights Regulation, it is usually difficult for private individuals to claim their payment single-handedly. Finally, airlines do not simply hand over the money. Long telephone queues and missing replies to e-mails are practically on the agenda.
