Dealing with flight problems can be quite upsetting. However, the good news is that the European Union has regulations to assist travelers when things go wrong. If you’re flying in the EU, it’s a good idea to be aware of these regulations. They can be useful if your flight goes off course.
Being aware of your options can make dealing with travel problems a lot simpler. While it won’t make your flight go any faster, it can make you more relaxed when things get disrupted.
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 make sure airlines look after their passengers when things go wrong.
When flights are delayed or cancelled, airlines must offer you:
- Food and drinks
- 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 get:
- A refund
- An alternative flight
- Compensation to make up for the inconvenience
Remember to ask airline staff about these entitlements if your plans change. They are obligated to inform you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.
Hahn Air Flight Delay Compensation
Travel setbacks from Hahn Air can be very frustrating. However there’s a bright side: if you’re delayed for more than three hours owing 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 receive up to €600 per person. What counts is when you arrive, not when you depart. So keep an eye on your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.
Your compensation 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.
Interested in learning exactly how much you could get? Check out the table below to see how much money you might get:
| 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 |
Hahn Air Flight Cancellation Compensation
Europe has laws to assist you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s what you need to know:
If your flight gets cancelled within two weeks of you’re supposed to leave, you might get compensation of up to €600. But keep in mind – the airline doesn’t have to pay if they rebook you on a different flight that doesn’t mess up your plans too much.
The airline may not need to compensate you 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 choose to board an alternative flight from the airline, you can still get compensation. What matters most is your arrival time at your destination.
Your potential compensation is based on two factors:
- The length of your flight
- The delay in your arrival
Therefore, even if the new flight doesn’t get there on time, you might still get some compensation.
Refer to 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 arrive shortly after the scheduled time, you might not be entitled to flight cancellation compensation.

Which Hahn Air 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 an airport in an EU member state and any flight coming into a European Union member state airport 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 laws also apply to airlines from Switzerland, Iceland, and Norway. This means when you travel with any airline within, to, or from Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s helpful to know about these regulations – they’re there to support you if something goes wrong with your flight. They guarantee you’re not stranded when your trip arrangements go awry.
When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
Hahn Air is not always responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. Sometimes, situations arise that the airline has no control over, like really bad weather or unexpected problems.
For instance, if there’s a sudden storm, an emergency at the airport, or a strike by air traffic controllers, Hahn Air isn’t responsible. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline can’t do anything about.
When these events take place, you are unlikely to get any compensation. The airline is not considered to be doing anything wrong when these unexpected issues come up.
