Handling flight problems 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 taking a plane in the EU, it’s a good idea to understand these regulations. They can come in handy if your flight gets messed up.

Knowing what you’re entitled to can make dealing with travel problems less stressful. While it won’t make your flight go any faster, it can reduce your anxiety when things don’t go as planned.

Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004

When you’re flying in the European Union, rest assured that there’s assistance available in the case of a flight disruption. EU laws ensure airlines assist their passengers when things go wrong.

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

  • Meals and beverages
  • 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 receive:

  • A refund
  • An alternative flight
  • Compensation to make up for the trouble

Remember to inquire with airline representatives about these things if your plans change. They have to inform you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.

Discover Airlines Flight Delay Compensation

Travel setbacks from Discover 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.

Laws in the UK and EU are in your favor. You could be eligible for up to €600 per person. What counts is when you land, not when you depart. So keep an eye on your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

How much you get depends on how far you’re flying. A short flight won’t yield as much as a long one, even if they’re both delayed for the same duration.

Curious about exactly how much you could get? Check out 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

Discover Airlines Flight Cancellation Compensation

Europe has regulations to assist you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s what you should know:

If your flight is cancelled less than two weeks before your planned travel date, you might get compensation of up to €600. However, there’s a condition – the airline doesn’t have to pay if they offer you an alternative flight that doesn’t mess up your plans too much.

The carrier can bypass compensation if they provide an alternative 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 another 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 is based on a couple of points:

  1. The distance of your flight
  2. The time difference between the scheduled and actual arrival

Therefore, even if the alternative flight is delayed, you could still be eligible for compensation.

Refer to the following table to understand better:

Under 2 hours2-3 hours3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursNever arrivedDistance
€125€250€250€250€250All flights 1,500 km or less
€200€200€400€400€400Internal EU flights over 1,500 km
€200€200€400€400€400Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km
€300€300€300€600€600Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

The airline might not have 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 entitled to flight cancellation compensation.

How to Claim Compensation from Discover Airlines

It’s essential to know how to claim the compensation you’re entitled to under EU Regulation 261/2004. Here’s what you need to do:

  • Complete our form. You’ll need to provide details such as your flight number, date, and the problem you faced.
  • Let our experts help you. Once you submit the form, our team will handle the rest. We are well-versed in the EU laws thoroughly and will do our best to obtain your rightful compensation. You only incur a fee if we win your case.

Don’t forget that you have the right as a passenger to claim compensation for a cancelled or delayed flight. No matter whether your flight was delayed because of operational issues or technical difficulties, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances such as inclement weather or air traffic control decisions, you qualify for compensation.

Which Discover Airlines Flights are Covered by EU261?

The European Union’s laws for protecting air passengers are far-reaching. They apply to all flights departing from a European Union member state airport and to all flights arriving 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 regulations also cover airlines from Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway. This means if you’re traveling with any airline to, from, or within Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s good to know about these regulations – they exist to assist you if something goes wrong with your flight. They ensure you’re not abandoned when your travel plans fall through.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

Discover Airlines is not always responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. Occasionally, situations arise that the airline has no control over, like severe weather conditions or unexpected problems.

For instance, if there’s unexpected severe weather, an emergency at the airport, or a strike by air traffic controllers, Discover Airlines cannot be held accountable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.

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