Handling flight disruptions can be very annoying. However, the positive thing is that the European Union has regulations to support travelers when things don’t go as planned. If you’re taking a plane in the EU, it’s smart to understand these protections. They can help you out if your flight is disrupted.
Understanding your rights can make dealing with travel issues a lot simpler. While it won’t make your flight go any faster, it can reduce your anxiety when things get disrupted.
Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004
EU air passengers are protected if their flight experiences difficulties. EU laws make sure airlines assist their passengers when things go wrong.
When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must offer you:
- Food and drinks
- A hotel room if you’re stuck overnight
- Transportation to and from the hotel
- Two free phone calls, emails, or faxes
If you’re delayed for a long time or your flight is cancelled, you might also be entitled to:
- A refund
- A different flight option
- Compensation to make up for the trouble
Remember to inquire with airline representatives about these things if your plans change. They are obligated to tell you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.
APG Airlines Flight Delay Compensation
Travel setbacks from APG Airlines can be really annoying. However there’s some good news: if you’re stuck waiting 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 counts is when you reach your destination, not when you depart. So pay attention to your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.
The amount you receive depends on your flight distance. A brief trip won’t yield as much as a long one, even if they’re both delayed equally.
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 |
APG Airlines Flight Cancellation Compensation
Europe has laws to protect you in case of flight cancellation. Here’s the important information:
If your flight is cancelled within two weeks of you’re supposed to leave, you could be eligible for compensation as much as €600. But there’s a catch – the airline can avoid paying if they offer you an alternative flight that doesn’t mess up your plans too much.
The carrier can bypass compensation 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 agree to take an alternative flight from the airline, you can still receive compensation. The most important thing is when you reach your final destination.
How much money you might get depends on two factors:
- How far you’re flying
- The delay in your arrival
So, even if the new flight doesn’t get there on time, you could still be eligible for compensation.
Refer to the following table to understand better:
| 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 transportation to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even if you’re just a little late, you might not be eligible for flight cancellation compensation.

Which APG Airlines Flights are Covered by EU261?
The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union have a wide-ranging scope. They apply to every flight leaving a European Union member state airport and to all flights arriving at an airport in an EU member state when an EU-based airline operates the flight.
| Itinerary | Covered by EU 261 |
| Flights departing EU airports | ✅ Covered |
| Flights arriving at EU airports | ✅ Covered |
These regulations also include airlines from Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway. This means when you travel with any airline to, from, or within Europe, you likely have these rights. It’s helpful to be aware of these regulations – they’re there to support you if issues arise with your flight. They make sure you’re not abandoned when your travel plans fall through.
When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
APG Airlines isn’t always at fault when flights are delayed or cancelled. At times, things happen that the airline has no control over, like really bad weather or unexpected problems.
For example, if there’s an abrupt major weather event, an emergency at the airport, or a strike by air traffic controllers, APG Airlines is not liable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.
When these events take place, you probably won’t get any compensation. The airline isn’t seen as doing anything wrong when these unexpected issues come up.
