Understanding Your Rights: Air Passenger Rights

Travelers often face disruptions, and knowing your rights is the first step towards effective resolution. Under European legislation CE261/2004, passengers are entitled to compensation or refunds in cases of denied boarding, cancellations, or long delays. This applies to flights departing from or arriving in Europe, or operated by a European airline.

• Compensation: Depending on the flight distance, compensation can range from 250€ to 600€.
• Refunds: Full refunds are provided within 7 days for cancellations or significant delays.
• Additional Rights: In cases of overbooking or luggage issues, passengers can claim up to €1,220.

It's essential to directly address your claims to the operating airline, but eDreams can also guide you through the process.
