Flight Delay Compensation Guide: Know Your Rights & Claim
light delays have become increasingly common in recent years, affecting millions of travelers worldwide. While some delays are unavoidable, many passengers are unaware that they may be entitled to compensation when their travel plans are disrupted. Understanding one's rights when a flight is delayed or canceled can make all the difference. This guide aims to inform travelers about flight delay compensation, empowering them to take appropriate action when facing unexpected setbacks. ✈️ Flight delayed or cancelled? Don't leave money on the table. Call Airline Help now at 800-594-4991 (OTA) — your compensation could be just a call away! Flight delay compensation refers to the financial reimbursement that airlines may be required to provide to passengers whose flights are significantly delayed. It is important to distinguish this from a simple refund or cancellation process. While refunds apply when a passenger chooses not to fly or cancels voluntarily, delay compensation is provided when the airline is at fault for the disruption. Laws such as EU261 and guidelines by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) set the standard for when and how compensation should be issued. These regulations are designed to protect passengers and ensure airlines remain accountable. Under EC 261/2004, passengers flying from an EU airport or with an EU-based airline may be eligible for compensation for flight delay if the delay exceeds three hours. Eligibility also depends on the flight distance and the reason for the delay. Compensation for delayed flight may range from €250 to €600, depending on the length of the journey and delay duration. Passengers must ensure the delay was not caused by extraordinary circumstances (e.g., extreme weather). In the U.S., the situation is slightly different. There is no federal law mandating airlines to pay flight delays compensation. However, airlines do have internal policies. For example, rules around tarmac delays ensure passengers are not left stranded in planes for hours without basic necessities. Passengers can sometimes receive travel vouchers or other forms of goodwill gestures, but direct delay flight compensation is rare unless a formal complaint is made. In the UK, laws mirror EU261 due to prior alignment with European regulations. Canada introduced the Air Passenger Protection Regulations, which offer fixed amounts for delays depending on airline size and delay duration. In India, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) outlines rights regarding flight cancellation compensation and delays, including assistance and potential refunds. Understanding the cause of the delay can help determine eligibility for compensation for delayed flights. Common reasons include: Technical issues Weather conditions Air traffic control restrictions Crew scheduling problems Security concerns or operational delays If the delay is due to the airline's responsibility, passengers are more likely to qualify for compensation for flight delays. To claim compensation for flight delay, passengers should check: Duration of the delay (typically 3+ hours for EU) (typically 3+ hours for EU) Cause of the delay (airline's fault or extraordinary event) (airline's fault or extraordinary event) Route and airline's origin (relevant for EU rules) (relevant for EU rules) Supporting documents (boarding pass, delay notifications) Understanding these eligibility factors is crucial when considering a cancellation flight compensation or delay reimbursement. Here's a simple step-by-step process: Check eligibility based on the airline's policy and regulatory laws. Gather documents such as tickets, receipts, and email confirmations. Contact the airline and formally request compensation (email or online form). If denied, consider filing a complaint with aviation authorities or seek help from legal claim services. Ensure the claim is filed within the statute of limitations, which varies by country. In some cases, passengers may also be eligible for compensation for cancelled flight, especially when they are not rebooked on time. Under EU regulations, compensation ranges as follows: €250 for flights up to 1,500 km for flights up to 1,500 km €400 for flights between 1,500–3,500 km for flights between 1,500–3,500 km €600 for flights over 3,500 km (if delay exceeds four hours) Airlines may offer airline vouchers, but passengers should be aware they can often request cash compensation instead of vouchers for cancelled flight compensation. Some travelers choose to work with third-party claim services that handle the entire compensation process. These platforms: Pros: Save time Experts handle documentation and negotiation Cons: Take a percentage of the payout Not all services are legitimate Be sure to research service fees and success rates before signing up. In most cases, if the claim is straightforward, passengers can handle it directly. To maximize your chances of a successful claim: Save all documents : boarding passes, delay notifications, emails : boarding passes, delay notifications, emails Take notes or pictures of delay announcements or pictures of delay announcements Remain calm and respectful when communicating with airline staff when communicating with airline staff Use apps like FlightAware or TripIt to track and record flight delay info This proactive approach helps make a strong case for flight cancelled compensation or delays. Navigating flight delay compensation can feel overwhelming, but knowing your rights makes all the difference. Whether it's compensation for delayed flights or cancelled flight compensation, passengers should stay informed, act promptly, and not hesitate to seek what they are rightfully owed. Empowered with knowledge, travelers can now turn frustrating delays into compensated inconveniences—keeping their journey on track, even when the flight is not. 🛄 Don't stress the delay — claim what you're owed! Airline Help makes flight delay compensation simple. Reach out at 800-594-4991 (OTA) and let us handle the hassle. Yes, if the delay was caused by the airline and led to a missed connection, compensation may apply.

Record crowds expected at Budapest Pride march in defiance of Orban's ban
A record number of people are expected to attend Saturday's Pride march in the Hungarian capital Budapest, defying a ban that marks an unprecedented regression of LGBTQ rights in the European Union. Prime Minister Viktor Orban 's ruling coalition amended laws and the constitution earlier this year to prohibit the annual celebration, justifying his years-long clampdown on LGBTQ rights on "child protection" grounds. While Orban has been emboldened by the anti-diversity offensive of US President Donald Trump, his own initiatives have drawn protests at home and condemnation from the EU and rights groups. The nationalist leader on Friday said that while police would not "break up" the 30th edition of the Pride march, those who took part should be aware of "legal consequences". Despite the risk of a fine, more than 35,000 people are expected to gather at 2:00 pm (1200 GMT) near Budapest's city hall, an hour before the march begins. Ministers from several EU countries, and dozens of European lawmakers are expected to attend in defiance of the ban, reminiscent of that in Moscow in 2006 and Istanbul in 2015. "We're not just standing up for ourselves... If this law isn't overturned, eastern Europe could face a wave of similar measures," Pride organiser Viktoria Radvanyi said. Freshly installed cameras Earlier this week, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen called on the Hungarian authorities to reverse the ban. Thirty-three countries have also spoken up in support of the march. While parade organisers risk up to a year in prison, attendees can face fines up to 500 euros ($580). The latest legal changes empower the authorities to use facial-recognition technology to identify those who take part. Freshly installed cameras have appeared on lamp posts along the planned route of the march. However, opposition Budapest mayor Gergely Karacsony has insisted that no attendee can face any reprisals as the march -- co-organised by the city hall this time -- is a municipal event and does not require police approval. "The police have only one task tomorrow, and it is a serious one: to ensure the safety of Hungarian and European citizens attending the event," Karacsony said during a briefing with visiting EU equalities commissioner Hadja Lahbib. Far-right groups have announced multiple counterprotests along the planned route of the procession. Justice Minister Bence Tuzson this week sent a letter to EU embassies cautioning diplomats and staff against participating because of the police ban.

DPM Fadillah: Malaysia, Russia to deepen economic ties in halal industry, agriculture
Published on: Saturday, June 28, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jun 28, 2025 By: Bernama Text Size: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Energy Transition and Water Transformation, Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof (right) shares lunch with First Deputy Chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of the Russian Federation, Damir Vaisovich Mukhetdinov (left), after performing Friday prayers at the Moscow Cathedral Mosque, yesterday. — Bernama pic--fotoBERNAMA (2025) COPYRIGHT RESERVED Moscow: Malaysia and Russia will deepen economic cooperation, particularly in high-potential sectors such as the halal industry, agriculture and food security, Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof said. Fadillah said bilateral trade between the two countries remained modest in 2024, despite Russia's large economy. Russia ranked as Malaysia's ninth-largest trading partner among European nations this year, with total trade reaching RM11.46 billion (US$2.48 billion). Malaysia's key exports to Russia include electrical and electronic products, machinery, equipment and parts, as well as processed food. 'I invited Russian companies to invest in Malaysia and take advantage of the government's incentives in strategic sectors such as aerospace, agrotechnology, energy, ICT (information and communications technology), the digital economy, Islamic finance and the halal industry,' the Deputy Prime Minister said. He was speaking at a press conference at the end of his four-day working visit to Russia late last night. Fadillah, who is also the Energy Transition and Water Transformation Minister, called for cooperation in agriculture and food security, and proposed joint research and development in fertiliser and pesticide technologies, agro-engineering and food technology. 'I discussed collaboration in higher education and conveyed appreciation to the Russian government for its scholarships to Malaysian students. 'I also proposed that these scholarships be extended to emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence, big data and information science, in line with current industrial transformation,' he said. On tourism, Fadillah said Malaysia welcomed a proposal for direct flights between the two countries, which is expected to be finalised soon. However, he noted that Russia had raised concerns over financial transactions, which had to some extent hampered the growth of bilateral trade. He gave an assurance that the Malaysian government, through the relevant agencies, including Bank Negara Malaysia, would continue to facilitate smooth financial transactions between both sides. 'I will present the outcomes of my discussions with Russian counterparts to the Cabinet upon my return to Malaysia. 'In shaa Allah, I am confident that Malaysia–Russia cooperation will continue to develop positively and bring tangible benefits to our country,' he added. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
