How much is compensation for a 3 hour flight delay?
Flight delay compensation for a 3-hour delay isn't fixed. It depends on the airline's policy, delay reason, your destination, and applicable laws like EU261. You might receive nothing, or potentially hundreds in refunds, plus meals, hotels, and rebooking. Always check your airline's policy and relevant passenger rights regulations for details.
Flight delay compensation: How much money for a 3-hour delay?
Ugh, flight delays, right? Three hours is brutal. So, how much can you get? It’s a total mess, honestly.
My flight from Gatwick to Rome (July 14th last year, Ryanair, if you must know) was delayed almost four hours. I got absolutely nothing. Zero. Zilch. Apparently, the delay was due to “unforeseen circumstances,” which felt like a fancy way of saying “stuff happened.”
EU261? Yeah, I looked into that. It’s a whole complicated thing. The airline’s website was a nightmare to navigate. Different airlines, different rules. It depends on the reason for the delay, too, not just the length of it.
Compensation can be hundreds of euros – or nothing. Seriously. It’s a gamble, a lottery. Check your airline’s policy, the fine print—good luck with that. My advice? Pack snacks.
