Flight delayed over 24 hours: who to turn to for compensation?

Hi, after a flight delayed by more than 24 hours, can I file a compensation claim with the airline (where they told me they’re in financial trouble!) and at the same time with a specialized compensation claim website?

Hi there,

Agencies that say "we’ll take 30%" all include in their terms and conditions (which you agree to with a single click) that their commission will still be due even if you secure your compensation through your own efforts.

The most effective route is to handle it yourself by following the methodology outlined here: https://retardimportantavion.wordpress.com/

It’s straightforward, but there are two CRUCIAL conditions: - Don’t deviate from the templates. In particular, avoid unnecessary emotional appeals (like saying you’re elderly, weren’t looked after, have young kids, etc.), as these aren’t covered by legal texts. Also, skip subjective opinions (like "this is unacceptable," etc.). Stick to presenting the facts and the applicable laws; - Have the patience to read ALL the links relevant to your case.

Best regards,

Hi,

Yes, you can claim compensation for delays based on the flight distance, between 250 and 600 €. Just be aware that if the change happened more than 14 days before departure, you won’t be eligible.

Be careful if the change took place more than 14 days before departure, it won’t apply.

Hello,

Yes, of course, if it’s a flight schedule change announced in advance, it’s not a delayed flight!

Best regards

Hi,

It all depends on the question— the info he’s given isn’t enough. He could’ve been delayed by 24 hours more than 14 days ago, and for him, it’s still a delay from the original time.
