Loganair Flight Delay and Cancellation Compensation

Handling flight problems can be really frustrating. However, the positive thing is that the European Union has laws to help travelers when things don’t go as planned. If you’re traveling by air in the EU, it’s wise to understand these regulations. They can help you out if your flight is disrupted.

Being aware of your options can make dealing with travel problems much easier. While it won’t get you to your destination quicker, it can make you more relaxed when things don’t go as planned.

Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004

If your flight has problems in the EU, you’ll get support. EU laws guarantee airlines take care of their passengers when things go wrong.

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

• Food and drinks
• A hotel room 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
• A different flight option
• Compensation to make up for the trouble

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.

Loganair Flight Delay Compensation

Flight delays from Loganair can be very frustrating. However there’s some good news: 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 get up to €600 per person. What matters is when you land, not when you depart. So monitor your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

Your compensation depends on how far you’re flying. A short flight won’t yield as much as a longer flight, even if they’re both delayed the same amount of time.

Curious about exactly how much you could get? Take a look at the table below to see the potential reimbursement amounts:

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

Loganair Flight Cancellation Compensation

The European Union has regulations to assist you if your flight is cancelled. Here’s what you need to know:

If your flight is cancelled less than two weeks before your scheduled departure, you may be entitled to compensation up to €600. However, there’s a condition – the airline can avoid paying if they can get you on another flight that doesn’t mess up your plans too much.

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 get compensation. The key factor is your arrival time at your destination.

The amount you could receive is based on a couple of points:

1. How far you’re flying
2. The time difference between the scheduled and actual arrival

So, even if you arrive later than planned, you might still get some compensation.

Refer to the following table 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 transportation to your destination, close to the original schedule. Even with a slight delay, you might not be eligible for flight cancellation compensation.

Which Loganair Flights are Covered by EU261?

The European Union’s laws for protecting air passengers are comprehensive in scope. They apply to every flight leaving an airport within an EU country and to all flights arriving at an airport in an EU member state 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 include airlines from Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. This means if you’re flying with any airline to, from, or within Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s helpful to be aware of these regulations – they exist to assist you if issues arise with your flight. They ensure you’re not stranded when your travel plans go awry.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

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

For instance, if there’s a sudden storm, an emergency at the airport, or an air traffic control strike, Loganair isn’t responsible. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.

When these events take place, you probably won’t get any compensation. The airline isn’t viewed as doing anything wrong when these unexpected issues come up.
