Air Passenger Rights & Compensation for Delays and Cancellations

As a passenger traveling with Czech Airlines, you are protected under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261) when your flight is delayed, cancelled, or overbooked. This regulation applies if your flight departs from any airport within the European Union, regardless of the airline, or if your flight arrives in the EU and is operated by an EU-based airline such as Czech Airlines. If your flight with Czech Airlines is significantly delayed (over 3 hours), cancelled without sufficient notice, or you are denied boarding due to overbooking, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

The amount of compensation is determined by the flight distance:

• Up to 1,500 km: €250 per passenger
• Between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: €400 per passenger
• Over 3,500 km: €600 per passenger

However, compensation may not apply in extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or airport closures. Czech Airlines is also required to offer assistance, such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation, depending on the length of the delay and your waiting time at the airport.

Your Rights Under EU 261 & EC 261 Explained

EU 261 and EC 261 regulations ensure that air passengers are protected when flights are disrupted. For flights departing from the EU or arriving in the EU with an EU airline like Czech Airlines, you may claim compensation for delays over 3 hours, last-minute cancellations, or denied boarding. To be eligible, your flight must either originate within the EU or, if departing from outside the EU, be operated by an EU airline and arrive in the EU. Compensation amounts are based on the flight distance, as outlined above.

For example, if your Czech Airlines flight from Prague to Paris (within 1,500 km) is delayed over 3 hours, you may claim €250. For a flight from Prague to Dubai (over 3,500 km), you may be eligible for €600. Remember, you must keep your boarding pass, flight details, and any communications from the airline to support your claim.
