Dan Air Flight Delay and Cancellation Compensation

Handling flight problems can be very annoying. However, the good news is that the European Union has regulations to assist travelers when things don’t go as planned. If you’re traveling by air in the EU, it’s a good idea to know about these regulations. They can help you out if your flight gets messed up.

Understanding your rights can make managing travel complications less stressful. While it won’t make your flight go any faster, it can help you feel less stressed when things go wrong.

Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004

EU air passengers are protected if their flight experiences difficulties. EU laws ensure airlines look after their passengers when things go wrong.

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

• Refreshments and snacks
• Accommodation if you’re stuck 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
• A different flight option
• Compensation to make up for the trouble

Remember to ask airline staff about these things if your plans change. They are obligated to inform you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.

Dan Air Flight Delay Compensation

Flight delays from Dan Air can be very frustrating. However there’s some good news: if you’re stranded 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 in your favor. You could receive up to €600 per person. What is important is when you arrive, not when you leave. So keep an eye on your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

The amount you receive depends on how far you’re flying. A brief trip won’t yield as much as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed for the same duration.

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

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

Dan Air Flight Cancellation Compensation

The European Union has laws to help you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s the important information:

If your flight gets cancelled within two weeks of you’re supposed to leave, you could be eligible for compensation as much as €600. But keep in mind – the airline doesn’t have to pay if they can get you on another flight that doesn’t significantly disrupt your travel.

The carrier can bypass compensation if they arrange a replacement 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. What matters most is your arrival time at your destination.

The amount you could receive depends on two things:

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

Therefore, even if you arrive later than planned, you may still receive some compensation.

Look at the table below 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 have to compensate you if they can provide transportation 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.

Which Dan Air Flights are Covered by EU261?

The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union are comprehensive in scope. They apply to any flight taking off from an airport in an EU member state and to all flights arriving at an airport within an EU country if the flight is operated by an EU airline.

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

These laws also include airlines from Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway. This means when you travel with any airline to, within, or from Europe, you probably have these rights. It’s good to be aware of these laws – they exist to help you if problems occur with your flight. They ensure you’re not left on your own when your travel plans fall through.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

Dan Air isn’t always responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. Occasionally, events occur that the airline has no control over, like really bad weather or unexpected problems.

For example, if there’s unexpected severe weather, an urgent situation at the airport, or a strike by air traffic controllers, Dan Air is not liable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline can’t do anything about.

When these things happen, you likely won’t get any compensation. The airline isn’t seen as doing anything wrong when these unexpected issues arise.
