Claim CompensationKnow your rights to claim Korean Air flight delay or cancellation compensation
EU Regulation 261 of 2004 established the common rule for compensation and reimbursements that are applicable to any airline whose destination origin is in the EU. For flight delays, cancellations or denied boarding, passengers can claim up to 600€ from airlines as per EC Regulation 261/2004.
Flight delay compensation can be claimed only if your flight was delayed at the arrival airport for more than 3 hours than the scheduled arrival time. If your flight has been delayed at departure but arrives within the stipulated time of arrival, then you won’t be able to make your claim. In cases where the flight has been delayed to depart but arrives 10 minutes before the 3-hour deadline, you cannot claim compensation from the airlines.
