Air travel has become an essential part of modern life, providing quick and efficient transportation across the globe. However, with the convenience of flying comes the occasional frustration of flight disruptions, including delays, cancellations, overbookings, and denied boarding. These issues can significantly impact passengers’ schedules, plans, and overall travel experience. While many passengers are unaware of their rights in these situations, regulations like EU 261/2004 ensure that travelers are entitled to compensation when disruptions occur under specific circumstances. Trouble Flight specializes in helping air passengers navigate these regulations and secure the compensation they deserve, with an automated system that streamlines the claims process.
Understanding the Challenges of Flight Disruptions
Flight disruptions are unfortunately common in the airline industry. Weather, technical issues, staffing shortages, and unforeseen events can all cause delays or cancellations, while overbookings and denied boarding further complicate matters for travelers. In these situations, passengers often face inconvenience, missed connections, and additional expenses—yet they may not know they are entitled to compensation.
Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers whose flights are delayed, cancelled, or overbooked may be eligible for compensation ranging from financial reimbursement to vouchers or alternative travel arrangements. However, the process of claiming compensation can be complex, time-consuming, and frustrating for passengers who are unfamiliar with the legalities or who lack the time and resources to pursue it themselves.

What Passengers Are Entitled To Under EU 261/2004
The EU 261/2004 regulation provides protection to passengers traveling within the European Union (EU), as well as to passengers traveling to or from the EU with an EU airline. Under this regulation, passengers may be entitled to compensation in the following circumstances:
- Flight Delays: If a flight is delayed for more than three hours, passengers may be entitled to compensation, depending on the reason for the delay. Compensation amounts vary based on the distance of the flight.
- Flight Cancellations: If a flight is canceled within 14 days of departure, passengers may be entitled to compensation. If the cancellation is due to extraordinary circumstances (e.g., severe weather), compensation may not apply.
- Denied Boarding: If a flight is overbooked and passengers are denied boarding, they are entitled to compensation, along with either a refund or an alternative flight.
The compensation amounts range from €250 to €600, depending on the distance of the flight and the length of the delay.
