Air travel has made the world smaller, connecting cities, families, and opportunities. However, flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding continue to disrupt travel plans worldwide.

AirRefund.us – Your Claim, Our Responsibility.

Your Rights as an Air Passenger Explained

Air passenger rights are protected under several key international regulations designed to ensure fairness and accountability in the airline industry.

1. EC Regulation 261/2004 (EU Law)

If your flight:

  • Departs from an EU airport
  • Arrives in the EU on an EU-based airline

You are protected by EC Regulation 261/2004.

You may be eligible for compensation in the event of:

  • Flight delays exceeding 3 hours
  • Flight cancellations with less than 14 days’ notice
  • Denied boarding due to overbooking

Compensation Amounts Under EC 261/2004:

  • €250: Flights up to 1,500 km
  • €400: Flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
  • €600: Flights over 3,500 km

2. Montreal Convention (International Flights)

For international flights, the Montreal Convention ensures passengers are compensated for:

  • Significant flight delays
  • Flight cancellations
  • Lost or damaged baggage

3. US Department of Transportation (DOT) Policies

In the United States, passenger rights focus primarily on:

  • Compensation for denied boarding due to overbooking
  • Transparency in refunds and rebooking during cancellations

At AirRefund.us, we’re experts in these global regulations and know exactly how to ensure the airlines follow the rules.

When Are You Eligible for Compensation?

1. Flight Delays

  • If your flight arrived at your final destination 3 hours or more late.
  • The delay was not caused by extraordinary circumstances such as extreme weather.

2. Flight Cancellations

  • If your flight was canceled with less than 14 days’ notice.
  • If the airline failed to offer an alternative flight option.

3. Denied Boarding

  • If you were refused boarding due to overbooking even though you had a valid ticket and checked in on time.

4. Missed Connections

  • If a delayed flight caused you to miss a connecting flight, resulting in significant delays at your final destination.

5. Out-of-Pocket Expenses

  • In addition to financial compensation, airlines may also be required to reimburse you for:
  • Meals and refreshments during long delays.
  • Hotel stays if an overnight wait was required.
  • Transportation costs to and from the hotel.

Costs associated with rebooking flights.

Expenses Beyond Compensation
