      Air Passenger Rights at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)

      If your flight from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Europe is delayed, cancelled, or overbooked, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU 261 or EC 261). This regulation protects passengers on flights operated by European airlines or flights departing from any EU airport. For flights departing from LAX to the EU, EU 261 applies if your flight is operated by a European airline, such as British Airways, Lufthansa, or Air France.

      • Your rights after a delay or cancellation: If your flight is delayed by more than 3 hours upon arrival or cancelled at short notice, you may be eligible for financial compensation, as well as care (meals, refreshments, accommodation if necessary).
      • Eligibility:
        • Flight departing from an EU airport (any airline), or
        • Flight arriving in the EU on a European carrier (for example, British Airways or Lufthansa from LAX to Europe)
      • Compensation amounts (per passenger):
        • €250 for flights up to 1,500 km
        • €400 for flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
        • €600 for flights over 3,500 km (most LAX–Europe flights)
      • Cancelled flights: If your flight is cancelled and you were not informed at least 14 days before departure, you may be eligible for compensation, unless the cancellation was due to extraordinary circumstances.
      • Delayed flights: If you arrive at your final destination more than 3 hours late, you may have a right to claim compensation under EC 261.
      • Denied boarding: If you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you are entitled to compensation and assistance.

      Even if you are departing from Los Angeles, you can claim compensation for flights operated by European airlines under EU 261. For all other cases, US Department of Transportation rules may apply, but they do not guarantee compensation for delays.
