All Nippon Airways Compensation for Flight Delays and Cancellations

Passengers of All Nippon Airways who have experienced a cancelled or delayed flight have a legal right to compensation. According to EU 261, airlines must compensate passengers when there is a significant disruption. Here, we will look at your rights and the actions you should follow to receive the compensation you have a right to from the airline.

All Nippon Airways Flight Delay or Cancellation Compensation

Before claiming the All Nippon Airways compensation, you should be aware of the conditions and the amount of compensation you may expect to get in the event of delay or flight cancellation.

All Nippon Airways Compensation for Flight Delay

According to UK and EU laws, passengers may be entitled to up to €600 in compensation per person if their flight is delayed. It’s important to note that this flight delay compensation is calculated using the flight’s landing time, not the departure time, so the key to your claim relies on the actual time you land at your final destination.

Let’s take a look at how much compensation you could be eligible for if your flight is delayed. The amount of compensation is determined by several factors, such as the duration of the delay and the route length of your flight:

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

Remember you may not always receive compensation for every flight delay. All Nippon Airways isn’t required to compensate passengers when extraordinary circumstances outside their control occur. This includes bad weather, airport issues, or a strike by air traffic controllers. In these cases, you will generally not be compensated as it is not the airline’s fault.

All Nippon Airways Compensation for Flight Cancellation

EU Regulation 261/2004 states that airlines have to notify passengers of flight cancellations at least 14 days before departure. If the airline doesn’t provide timely notification, you may be entitled to flight cancellation compensation ranging from €250 to €600 per passenger, based on the flight distance. Nonetheless, if the airline provides you with an alternate flight, it may avoid paying compensation for the cancelled flight if the following conditions are met:

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

Even when accepting an alternative flight, passengers retain their right to compensation if they still experience significant delays at their final destination. The amount of compensation is calculated according to two criteria: the distance of the flight and the duration of the delay, according to the table provided below:

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

All Nippon Airways doesn’t have to compensate you if they offer an alternative flight that departs and arrives close to the same time as your original flight. Also, you usually won’t receive compensation if the flight is cancelled due to circumstances beyond the airline’s control, such as bad weather or when airline workers go on strike.

Are All Nippon Airways Flights Covered By EU 261/2004?

European Union Regulation 261 covers all flights departing from airports in the EU. It also applies to flights arriving in the EU if the airline originates in the EU. This includes airlines from EU countries as well as Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland.

However, All Nippon Airways is not a European airline. Therefore, they aren’t required to pay you compensation if their flights operate outside of Europe. This applies even to their flights to Europe if they start outside the EU.

Itinerary	Covered by EU 261
Flights departing from EU airports	✔️ Yes
Flights arriving at EU airports	❌ No

What You Can Get Besides EU Flight Compensation

All Nippon Airways goes the additional mile to help passengers during travel disruptions by offering services that complement flight compensation.

Right to Care

When flight disruptions happen, All Nippon Airways is committed to ensuring passenger comfort through the Right to Care provision. The right, established under EU Regulation 261/2004, kicks in when flight delays exceed two hours. The services provided include:

• Food and Drinks: Passengers are provided with meals and beverages appropriate to the length of delay. This may include vouchers for airport restaurants or direct distribution of snacks and drinks.
• Communication: All Nippon Airways offers two free phone calls, emails, or fax messages to keep passengers connected with family or business contacts.
• Accommodation: If the delay extends for the night or requires an additional stay, All Nippon Airways provides hotel accommodation. This also covers transportation to and from the airport and the hotel.
• Special Assistance: Extra care is given to passengers with reduced mobility or special needs.

To access these services, you can simply approach airport staff at the airport for immediate assistance.

Rebooking and Refunds

When All Nippon Airways cancels a flight, passengers have the option to receive a full refund or rebook on a different flight. This flexibility is essential for minimizing travel inconveniences and helping passengers to manage unforeseen circumstances effectively.

• Full Refund: if you request a refund, you can get full reimbursement for the parts of your trip that you didn’t use, including any tickets you only partly used. Also, if the cancellation means your trip no longer serves its original purpose, you may get a flight back to where you first started at the earliest chance.
• Rebooking: if you choose to continue your journey, All Nippon Airways will provide rebooking on the next available flight to your destination. You also have the option to choose an alternative route if there are seats available. If the next available flight is scheduled for the following day or later, All Nippon Airways shall arrange accommodation and transfers as needed. Furthermore, you have the right to be rebooked, including in a higher class, at no additional cost to you if that’s the only available option.

It’s crucial to keep in mind some additional considerations. If you’re rebooked on a lower class than originally booked, you’re entitled to a partial refund of the cost difference. Additionally, if your booking involves connecting flights, All Nippon Airways will assist in rebooking your entire journey, not only the cancelled segment.

Whether opting for a refund or arranging a new flight, the procedures are designed to ensure this process as smooth as possible, understanding the stress and inconvenience caused by cancellations.
