Delayed and cancelled flights are the most frequent problems faced by travelers. Luckily, the European Union has EU Regulation 261, which ensures that you, as a passenger, are not left in a difficult situation and that your rights are protected. The European Union Regulation 261/2004 defines the conditions under which passengers are entitled to compensation and assistance in the event of flight disruption.

In this article, you will find everything you need to know about Regulation EU261 and under what circumstances you are entitled to compensation.

Passenger Rights under EU 261/2004

Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers departing from or arriving at Palma de Mallorca Airport on flights operated by EU-based airlines have certain rights if they experience significant cancellations or delays. These rights include:

  • Food and drinks: Airlines must provide proper refreshments and snacks during the waiting period.
  • Access to means of communication: Passengers should be provided two free phone calls, emails, or faxes.
  • Hotel accommodation if necessary: If an overnight stay is required, the airline is obligated to provide accommodation and transportation to and from the hotel.
  • Ticket refund or alternative flight: Travelers can choose between a full refund of their ticket or rebooking on an alternative flight to their final destination.
  • Compensation: According to the flight distance and length of delay, passengers might be entitled to financial compensation between €250 to €600.

Palma de Mallorca Airport Flight Delay Compensation

Passengers experiencing flight delays at Palma de Mallorca Airport may be eligible for compensation of up to 600 euros per person, especially if the delay lasts longer than three hours. The right to compensation is decided by the cause of the delay and whether it follows UK and EU regulations. The amount of compensation is determined on the time of arrival at the destination rather than departure time and is influenced by the distance of the flight and the duration of the delay.

Less than 3 hoursBetween 3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursDistance
€0€250€250All flights up to 1500 km
€0€400€400All flights between 1500 km and 3500 km
€0€400€400All intra-EU flights over 3500 km
€0€300€600All non-EU flights over 3500 km

Keep in mind that airlines are not obligated to provide compensation for delays resulting from extraordinary circumstances outside their control.

Palma de Mallorca Airport Flight Cancellation Compensation

In the event of a flight cancellation causing inconvenience at the Palma de Mallorca Airport, according to EU 261, passengers can receive compensation of up to €600 if the airline notifies them of the cancellation less than 14 days before departure.

However, there are exceptions to this law. The airline might be exempt from compensating passengers if it provides an alternative flight that meets certain criteria, letting you arrive at your destination with the minimal delay possible:

Advance NoticeRe-routing Requirements
14 DaysNone
7 – 13 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 2 hours before and arriving less than 4 hours after the original flight
Less than 7 DaysAlternative flight departing no more than 1 hour before and arriving less than 2 hours after the original flight

Compensation may still be available even if you accept an alternative flight, provided your arrival at the final destination is significantly delayed. The compensation amount is based on the distance of the flight and the duration of the delay. You can check the following table to figure out the amount of compensation you are eligible for:

Under 2 hours2-3 hours3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursNever arrivedDistance
€125€250€250€250€250All flights 1,500 km or less

€300€300€300€600€600Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

Keep in mind that airlines usually don’t provide compensation for cancellations caused by extraordinary circumstances beyond their control, such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes.
