Coping with flight disruptions can be very annoying. However, the positive thing is that the European Union has regulations to support travelers when things get messed up. If you’re traveling by air in the EU, it’s a good idea to know about these regulations. They can be useful if your flight is disrupted.
These protections are known as air passenger rights, which are legal entitlements under EU regulation that safeguard travelers in cases of flight delays, cancellations, and overbookings.
Being aware of your options can make handling travel issues much easier. While it won’t get you to your destination quicker, it can make you more relaxed when things get disrupted.
Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004
EU air passengers are protected if their flight experiences difficulties. EU laws guarantee airlines assist their passengers when things go wrong.
When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must offer you:
- Food and drinks;
- Accommodation if you’re stranded overnight;
- Alternative transportation if your flight is cancelled or significantly delayed;
- 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.
Don’t forget 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.
Go2Sky Flight Delay Compensation
Delays with flights from Go2Sky can be very frustrating. However there’s some good news: if you’re stuck waiting for more than three hours because of the airline’s fault, you might be able to get some compensation.
Laws in the UK and EU are on your side. You could get up to €600 per person. What matters is when you arrive, not when you depart. 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 short flight won’t be compensated as highly as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed equally.
Curious about 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 |

Go2Sky Flight Cancellation Compensation
The EU has regulations to protect you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s what you need to know:
If your flight gets cancelled within two weeks of your scheduled departure, you may be entitled to 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 aligns closely with your original schedule.
The airline may not need to compensate you if they provide an alternative 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 choose to board another flight from the airline, you’re still eligible for compensation. The key factor is your arrival time at your destination.
How much money you might get is determined by two things:
- How far you’re flying
- The time difference between the scheduled and actual arrival
As a result, even if the new flight doesn’t get there on time, you may still receive some compensation.
Look at the table below for more information:
| 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 may not need to compensate you if they can provide a transfer to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even if you’re just a little late, you might not be entitled to flight cancellation compensation.

Keep in mind that you’re entitled as a passenger to claim compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight. Regardless of whether your flight was delayed because of operational reasons or mechanical problems, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances such as inclement weather or air traffic control decisions, you have a right to compensation.
Which Go2Sky Flights are Covered by EU261?
The air passenger protection regulations of the European Union are comprehensive in scope. They cover any flight taking off from an airport within an EU country and any flight coming into an airport within an EU country provided the airline is based in the EU.
| Itinerary | Covered by EU 261 |
| Flights departing EU airports | ✅ Covered |
| Flights arriving at EU airports | ✅ Covered |
These laws also apply to airlines from Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway. This means if you’re flying with any airline to, from, or within Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s good to understand these regulations – they exist to assist you if issues arise with your flight. They make sure you’re not stranded when your trip arrangements don’t work out.
When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
Go2Sky isn’t necessarily responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. At times, things happen that the airline can’t control, like really bad weather or unexpected problems.
For example, if there’s a sudden storm, an urgent situation at the airport, or air traffic controllers go on strike, Go2Sky cannot be held accountable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline can’t do anything about.
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 arise. However, Go2Sky must prove that the cancellation or delay was caused by extraordinary circumstances in order to avoid paying.
