How the calculation works
EU261 compensation is determined by the great-circle distance of the flight and the length of the disruption — not the price of your ticket. The amounts below apply per passenger and are in addition to any refund or rerouting.
€250
< 1,500 km
London → Paris
€400
1,500 – 3,500 km
Berlin → Madrid
€600
> 3,500 km
Amsterdam → New York
Important caveats
- For delays under 4 hours on flights over 3,500 km, the airline may pay 50% (€300 instead of €600).
- Compensation is not due if the airline can prove an extraordinary circumstance (rare in practice).
- For cancellations with 14+ days notice, compensation is generally not payable.
- This calculator gives an indicative result — the final amount is confirmed after a full eligibility review.
