SkyUp Flight Delay and Cancellation Compensation

Dealing with flight disruptions can be very annoying. However, the bright side is that the European Union has laws to assist travelers when things go wrong. If you’re flying in the EU, it’s a good idea to know about these regulations. They can be useful if your flight goes off course.

Being aware of your options can make handling travel problems much easier. While it won’t speed up your journey, it can help you feel less stressed when things don’t go as planned.

Passenger Rights under EU Regulation 261/2004

If your flight encounters issues in the EU, you’ll get aid. EU laws ensure airlines look after their passengers when things go wrong.

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

• Meals and beverages
• Accommodation if you’re stranded 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 inconvenience

Don’t forget to ask 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.

SkyUp Flight Delay Compensation

Delays with flights from SkyUp can be really annoying. However there’s some good news: if you’re stuck waiting 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 receive up to €600 per person. What matters is when you land, not when you take off. So pay attention to your arrival time if you want to seek flight delay compensation.

How much you get depends on the length of your journey. A brief trip won’t get you as much money as a long one, even if they’re both delayed for the same duration.

Interested in learning 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

SkyUp Flight Cancellation Compensation

Europe has laws to help you in case of flight cancellation. Here’s what you should know:

In the event of a flight cancellation less than two weeks before you’re supposed to leave, you may be entitled to compensation of up to €600. But keep in mind – the airline can avoid paying if they rebook you on a different flight that doesn’t significantly disrupt your travel.

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 a different flight from the airline, you can still get compensation. What matters most is when you reach your final destination.

The amount you could receive is determined by two factors:

1. How far you’re flying
2. How late you arrive

Therefore, even if the new flight doesn’t get there on time, you could still be eligible for compensation.

Look at 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 be required 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 SkyUp Flights are Covered by EU261?

The European Union’s laws for protecting air passengers are comprehensive in scope. They apply to all flights departing from an airport within an EU country and to all flights arriving at 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 regulations also apply to airlines from Norway, Switzerland, and Iceland. This means if you’re flying with any airline within, to, or from Europe, you most likely have these rights. It’s helpful to be aware of these laws – they exist to help you if problems occur with your flight. They guarantee you’re not abandoned when your travel plans don’t work out.

When You Are Not Entitled to Compensation

SkyUp isn’t necessarily responsible when flights are delayed or cancelled. Occasionally, things happen that the airline has no control over, like extreme weather or unexpected problems.

For instance, if there’s an abrupt major weather event, an airport emergency, or air traffic controllers go on strike, SkyUp isn’t responsible. These are called “extraordinary circumstances” that the airline has no control over.

When these things happen, you likely won’t get any compensation. The airline is not considered to be doing anything wrong when these unforeseen difficulties occur.
