Handling flight problems can be quite upsetting. However, the positive thing is that the European Union has regulations to assist travelers when things don’t go as planned. If you’re flying in the EU, it’s wise to understand these protections. They can come in handy if your flight is disrupted.
Understanding your rights can make managing travel complications a lot simpler. While it won’t make your flight go any faster, it can make you more relaxed when things don’t go as planned.
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 ensure airlines take care of their passengers when things go wrong.
When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must provide you:
- Food and drinks
- Accommodation 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 inquire with airline staff about these things if your plans change. They must tell you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.
DAT Airline Flight Delay Compensation
Travel setbacks from DAT Airline can be very frustrating. However there’s some good news: if you’re stranded for more than three hours owing to the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.
Regulations in the UK and EU are on your side. You could receive up to €600 per person. What matters is when you arrive, not when you leave. So monitor your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.
The amount you receive depends on the length of your journey. A brief trip won’t be compensated as highly as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed for the same duration.
Curious about exactly how much you could get? Take a look at 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 |
DAT Airline Flight Cancellation Compensation
Europe has regulations to help you in case of flight cancellation. Here’s what you should know:
In the event of a flight cancellation within two weeks of you’re supposed to leave, you may be entitled to compensation up to €600. But keep in mind – the airline can avoid paying if they offer you an alternative flight that doesn’t mess up your plans too much.
The airline can avoid paying you if they offer you a new 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 a different flight from the airline, you can still get compensation. The most important thing is when you reach your final destination.
How much money you might get is determined by a couple of points:
- The length of your flight
- How late you arrive
So, even if you arrive later than planned, you could still be eligible for compensation.
Check out the table below 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 be required to compensate you if they can provide a transfer to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even if you arrive shortly after the scheduled time, you might not be eligible for flight cancellation compensation.
How to Claim Compensation from DAT Airline
It’s essential to understand the process of claiming the compensation you deserve under EU Regulation 261/2004. Here’s how to do it:
- Fill in our form. You’ll need to provide details such as your flight number, date, and what went wrong.
- Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will handle the rest. We know the EU laws comprehensively and will strive to get you your compensation. You are only charged if we win your case.
Remember that it is your right as a passenger to claim compensation for a cancelled or delayed flight. No matter whether your flight was delayed because of operational reasons or technical difficulties, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances like severe weather or air traffic control decisions, you qualify for compensation.
Which DAT Airline Flights are Covered by EU261?
The European Union’s laws for protecting air passengers have a wide-ranging scope. They cover every flight leaving an airport in an EU member state and any flight coming into an airport in an EU member state 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 laws also include airlines from Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland. This means when you travel with any airline within, to, or from Europe, you likely have these rights. It’s good to understand these laws – they exist to support you if issues arise with your flight. They guarantee you’re not left on your own when your trip arrangements go awry.
When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
DAT Airline is not always at fault when flights are delayed or cancelled. Occasionally, situations arise that the airline can’t control, like severe weather conditions or unforeseen issues.
For instance, if there’s a sudden storm, an emergency at the airport, or an air traffic control strike, DAT Airline cannot be held accountable. 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 viewed as doing anything wrong when these unforeseen difficulties come up.
