      Air Passenger Rights at William P Hobby Airport

      If your flight from William P Hobby Airport (HOU) is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under EU air passenger rights regulations, specifically EU 261/2004 (also known as EC 261). This regulation protects passengers on flights departing from any EU airport or arriving in the EU with an EU-based airline. If your journey from HOU included a connection to or from Europe, and your flight was disrupted, you may be eligible to claim compensation depending on the circumstances.

      Under EU 261, compensation amounts depend on the flight distance and the length of the delay. For flights under 1,500 kilometers, passengers may claim up to €250 per person. For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, compensation can reach €400. For longer flights over 3,500 kilometers, the compensation can be as high as €600. To be eligible, the delay must be at least three hours upon arrival, or the flight must have been cancelled without sufficient notice. The regulation applies if your flight departed from the EU or if you were flying to the EU with an airline headquartered in the EU.

      EU 261 ensures passengers are also entitled to care – such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation – in the event of significant delays or overnight cancellations. Airlines are required to provide clear communication regarding your rights and the reasons for any disruption. If your flight from William P Hobby Airport was operated by an EU carrier and landed in the EU, or if your flight departed from the EU to HOU, you may be protected under these rights.
