Coping with flight disruptions can be very annoying. However, the positive thing is that the European Union has laws to support travelers when things get messed up. If you’re traveling by air in the EU, it’s smart to understand these protections. They can be useful if your flight goes off course.

Knowing what you’re entitled to can make dealing with travel problems much easier. While it won’t get you to your destination quicker, it can help you feel less stressed when things go wrong.

Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004

If your flight faces disruptions in the EU, you’ll get help. EU laws make sure airlines take care of their passengers when things go wrong.

When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must provide you:

  • Meals and beverages
  • Accommodation if you’re stranded 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 get:

  • A refund
  • A different flight option
  • Compensation to make up for the inconvenience

Don’t forget to ask airline workers about these things if your plans change. They have to inform you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.

ASL Airlines Flight Delay Compensation

Travel setbacks from ASL Airlines can be really annoying. However there’s a silver lining: if you’re delayed for more than three hours due 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 is important is when you land, not when you leave. So pay attention to your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

Your compensation 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 the same amount of time.

Interested in learning exactly how much you could get? Take a look at the table below to see what compensation you could receive:

Less than 3 hoursBetween 3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursDistance
€0€250€250All flights up to 1500 km
€0€400€400All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km
€0€400€400All intra-EU flights over 3500 km
€0€300€600All non-EU flights over 3500 km

ASL Airlines Flight Cancellation Compensation

The European Union has regulations to assist 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 could be eligible for 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 may not need to compensate you if they offer you a new flight that meets the following conditions:

Advance NoticeRe-routing Requirements
14 DaysNone
7 – 13 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight
Less than 7 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight

If you choose to board a different flight from the airline, you’re still eligible for compensation. What matters most is when you reach your final destination.

Your potential compensation is determined by two things:

  1. The distance of your flight
  2. The delay in your arrival

Therefore, even if the new flight doesn’t get there on time, you might still get some compensation.

€300€300€300€600€600Non-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 with a slight delay, you might not be eligible for flight cancellation compensation.

Keep in mind that you have the right as a passenger to claim compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight. Regardless of whether your flight was delayed because of operational issues or technical issues, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances such as adverse weather conditions or air traffic control decisions, you have a right to compensation.

Which ASL Airlines Flights are Covered by EU261?

The EU’s air passenger protection laws are far-reaching. They cover all flights departing from an airport within an EU country and every flight landing at a European Union member state airport if the flight is operated by an EU airline.

ItineraryCovered by EU 261
Flights departing EU airports✅ Covered
Flights arriving at EU airports✅ Covered

These laws also apply to airlines from Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. This means when you travel with any airline to, from, or within Europe, you likely have these rights. It’s important to be aware of these regulations – they exist to support you if issues arise with your flight. They make sure you’re not abandoned when your trip arrangements go awry.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

ASL Airlines isn’t necessarily at fault when flights are delayed or cancelled. Occasionally, situations arise that the airline can’t control, like extreme weather or unexpected problems.

For example, if there’s a sudden storm, an emergency at the airport, or a strike by air traffic controllers, ASL Airlines is not liable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline is unable to prevent.

When these situations occur, you are unlikely to get any compensation. The airline is not considered to be doing anything wrong when these unexpected issues come up.
