Flight cancellations and delays are the most frequent problems encountered by travelers. Luckily, the European Union has EU Regulation 261, which guarantees that you, as a passenger, are not left in a difficult situation and that your rights are protected. The EU 261/2004 outlines the conditions in which passengers are eligible for compensation and assistance in the event of flight disruption.

In this article, you will find everything you need to know about European Union Regulation 261 and when you are eligible for compensation.

Passenger Rights under EU 261/2004

Under EU Regulation 261/2004, travelers flying to or from Stuttgart Airport on flights operated by EU-based airlines have certain rights when facing significant delays or cancellations. These rights include:

  • Food and drinks: Airlines must provide proper meals and beverages during the waiting period.
  • Access to means of communication: Passengers should be offered two free phone calls, emails, or faxes.
  • Hotel accommodation if necessary: When an overnight stay is necessary, the airline must provide accommodation and transportation to and from the hotel.
  • Ticket refund or alternative flight: Passengers may 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 may be eligible for financial compensation between €250 to €600.

Stuttgart Airport Flight Delay Compensation

Travelers encountering flight delays at Stuttgart Airport may be entitled to 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 reason for 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 length 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 required to provide compensation for delays due to extraordinary circumstances outside their control.

Stuttgart Airport Flight Cancellation Compensation

In the event of a flight cancellation causing inconvenience at the Stuttgart 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.

Nonetheless, there are exceptions to this regulation. The airline may 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

Financial compensation could still be available even when you agree to an alternative flight, provided your arrival at the final destination is significantly delayed. The compensation amount is determined by the distance of the flight and the length of the delay. You can refer to the following table to figure out the compensation amount you are entitled to:

Under 2 hours2-3 hours3-4 hoursOver 4 hoursNever arrivedDistance
€125€250€250€250€250All flights 1,500 km or less
€200€200€400€400€400Internal EU flights over 1,500 km
€200€200€400€400€400Non-internal EU flights 1,500 km- 3,500 km
€300€300€300€600€600Non-internal EU flights over 3,500 km

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