Air Passenger Rights & Flight Compensation

If your LACSA (LR) flight was delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (EC 261), commonly known as EU 261. This regulation applies when your flight departs from an EU airport, regardless of the airline, or when your flight arrives in the EU on an EU-based carrier, such as LACSA. If your LACSA flight originated within the EU, or if you were flying into the EU on a LACSA-operated flight, you have specific rights in case of significant delays, cancellations, or denied boarding.

Under EU 261, you may claim compensation if your flight was delayed by more than three hours upon arrival or was cancelled less than 14 days before departure. The compensation amounts depend on the flight distance:

• For flights up to 1,500 km: €250 per passenger
• For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: €400 per passenger
• For flights over 3,500 km: €600 per passenger

These compensation rights apply if the delay or cancellation was within the airline’s control and not caused by extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes. Passengers are also entitled to care, including meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary, during extended delays.
