Handling flight disruptions can be quite upsetting. However, the positive thing is that the European Union has regulations to assist travelers when things get messed up. If you’re taking a plane in the EU, it’s smart to be aware of these protections. They can come in handy if your flight gets messed up.
Being aware of your options can make managing travel problems much easier. While it won’t speed up your journey, it can make you more relaxed when things go wrong.
Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004
When you’re flying in the EU, rest assured that there’s help available in the case of a flight disruption. EU laws make sure airlines assist their passengers when things go wrong.
When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must offer you:
- Meals and beverages
- A hotel room if you’re stranded overnight
- Transportation to and from the hotel
- Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes
If you’re experiencing a significant delay or your flight is cancelled, you might also be entitled to:
- A refund
- An alternative flight
- Compensation to make up for the inconvenience
Don’t forget to ask airline representatives about these entitlements if your plans change. They have to inform you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.
Aegean Airlines Flight Delay Compensation
Flight delays from Aegean Airlines can be very frustrating. However there’s some good news: if you’re stuck waiting for more than three hours because of the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.
Regulations in the UK and EU are on your side. You could be eligible for up to €600 per person. What is important is when you reach your destination, not when you leave. So pay attention to your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.
Your compensation depends on your flight distance. A short flight won’t yield as much as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed the same amount of time.
Curious about exactly how much you could get? Check out the table below to see the potential reimbursement amounts:
| Less than 3 hours | Between 3-4 hours | Over 4 hours | Distance |
| €0 | €250 | €250 | All flights up to 1500 km |
| €0 | €400 | €400 | All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km |
| €0 | €400 | €400 | All intra-EU flights over 3500 km |
| €0 | €300 | €600 | All non-EU flights over 3500 km |
Aegean Airlines Flight Cancellation Compensation
The European Union has regulations to protect you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s what you need to know:
If your flight gets cancelled less than two weeks before your scheduled departure, you may be entitled to compensation up to €600. But there’s a catch – the airline doesn’t have to pay if they offer you an alternative flight that doesn’t mess up your plans too much.
The airline may not need to compensate you if they provide an alternative flight that meets the following conditions:
| Advance Notice | Re-routing Requirements |
| 14 Days | None |
| 7 – 13 Days | Alternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight |
| Less than 7 Days | Alternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight |
If you accept another flight from the airline, you can still get compensation. What matters most is when you reach your final destination.
How much money you might get is determined by a couple of points:
- How far you’re flying
- The delay in your arrival
Therefore, even if you arrive later than planned, you may still receive some compensation.
Check out the following table for more information:
| Under 2 hours | 2-3 hours | 3-4 hours | Over 4 hours | Never arrived | Distance |
| €125 | €250 | €250 | €250 | €250 | All flights 1,500 km or less |
| €200 | €200 | €400 | €400 | €400 | Internal EU flights over 1,500 km |
| €200 | €200 | €400 | €400 | €400 | Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km |
| €300 | €300 | €300 | €600 | €600 | Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km |
The airline might not have to compensate you if they can provide transportation to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even with a slight delay, you might not be eligible for flight cancellation compensation.
How to Claim Compensation from Aegean Airlines
It’s crucial to be aware of how to claim the compensation you’re eligible for under EU Regulation 261/2004. Here’s the process:
- Complete this form. You’ll need to provide details like your flight number, date, and what went wrong.
- Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will manage the process. We know the EU laws comprehensively and will strive to get you your compensation. You only incur a fee if we win your case.
Don’t forget that you’re entitled as a passenger to claim compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight. No matter whether your flight was delayed due to operational issues or technical issues, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances including adverse weather conditions or air traffic control decisions, you have a right to compensation.
Which Aegean Airlines Flights are Covered by EU261?
The European Union’s laws for protecting air passengers have a wide-ranging scope. They cover all flights departing from a European Union member state airport and any flight coming into a European Union member state airport provided the airline is based in the EU.
| Itinerary | Covered by EU 261 |
| Flights departing EU airports | ✅ Covered |
| Flights arriving at EU airports | ✅ Covered |
These regulations also apply to airlines from Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. This means if you’re traveling with any airline within, to, or from Europe, you probably have these rights. It’s helpful to understand these laws – they’re in place to support you if issues arise with your flight. They make sure you’re not abandoned when your travel plans don’t work out.
When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
Aegean Airlines isn’t always at fault when flights are delayed or cancelled. Sometimes, things happen that the airline can’t control, like severe weather conditions or unexpected problems.
For example, if there’s unexpected severe weather, an urgent situation at the airport, or air traffic controllers go on strike, Aegean Airlines is not liable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.
When these things happen, you probably won’t get any compensation. The airline isn’t seen as doing anything wrong when these unexpected issues arise.
