Dealing with flight disruptions can be quite upsetting. However, the bright side 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 smart to know about these protections. They can be useful if your flight gets messed up.
These protections are known as air passenger rights, which are legal entitlements under EU regulation that safeguard travelers in cases of flight cancellations, delays, and overbookings.
Knowing what you’re entitled to can make handling travel problems much easier. While it won’t get you to your destination quicker, it can help you feel less stressed when things get disrupted.
Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004
If your flight faces disruptions in the European Union, you’ll get help. EU laws guarantee airlines take care of 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;
- Alternative transportation if your flight is cancelled or significantly delayed;
- 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 inconvenience.
Don’t forget to inquire with airline representatives about these entitlements if your plans change. They are obligated to tell you about your rights when there’s a significant delay or cancellation.
Marabu Flight Delay Compensation
Delays with flights from Marabu can be really annoying. However there’s a silver lining: if you’re stranded 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 leave. 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 short flight won’t be compensated as highly as a long one, 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 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 |

Marabu Flight Cancellation Compensation
Europe has regulations to protect you if your flight gets cancelled. Here’s what you should know:
If your flight gets cancelled less than two weeks before your planned travel date, you may be entitled to compensation as much as €600. But there’s a catch – the airline doesn’t have to pay if they offer you an alternative flight that aligns closely with your original schedule.
The airline can avoid paying 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 agree to take a different flight from the airline, you can still receive compensation. What matters most is when you reach your final destination.
How much money you might get is based on a couple of points:
- The length of your flight
- How late you arrive
So, even if the alternative flight is delayed, you may still receive some compensation.
Refer to the following table to see more details:
| 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’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. No matter whether your flight was delayed due to operational reasons or mechanical problems, if it was not caused by extraordinary circumstances like adverse weather conditions or air traffic control decisions, you qualify for compensation.
Which Marabu Flights are Covered by EU261?
The European Union’s laws for protecting air passengers have a wide-ranging scope. They cover any flight taking off from an airport within an EU country and any flight coming into an airport in an EU member state 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 regulations also cover airlines from Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland. This means if you’re flying with any airline to, within, or from Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s important to understand these regulations – they’re in place to assist you if something goes wrong with your flight. They guarantee you’re not abandoned when your travel plans go awry.
When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation
Marabu isn’t always responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. Occasionally, events occur that the airline can’t control, like severe weather conditions or unforeseen issues.
For example, if there’s unexpected severe weather, an airport emergency, or air traffic controllers go on strike, Marabu is not liable. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline is unable to prevent.
When these things happen, you probably won’t get any compensation. The airline isn’t viewed as doing anything wrong when these unforeseen difficulties occur. However, Marabu must prove that the delay or cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances in order to avoid paying.
