Air Passenger Rights at George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport
If your flight from George Bush Intercontinental Houston Airport (IAH) to the European Union was cancelled or delayed, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261). This regulation protects passengers on flights operated by European airlines, or any flight departing from an airport within the EU, regardless of the airline. For flights departing from IAH, EU 261 applies if you are flying to the EU with a European carrier such as British Airways or Lufthansa.
Under EU 261, compensation for delayed or cancelled flights depends on the distance of your journey and the length of the delay. If your flight arrives at your final destination with a delay of more than 3 hours, or if your flight is cancelled with less than 14 days' notice, you could be eligible for compensation. The compensation amounts are as follows:
- €250 per person for flights up to 1,500 kilometers
- €400 per person for flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers
- €600 per person for flights over 3,500 kilometers (such as most transatlantic flights from IAH to Europe)
To qualify, your flight must either depart from an EU airport, or arrive in the EU on a European airline. For example, if you fly from Houston to London with British Airways, you are covered by EU 261. If you fly from Houston to Frankfurt with Lufthansa, you are also covered. However, if you fly with a non-EU airline from Houston to the EU, EU 261 does not apply unless your flight departs from an EU airport.
Compensation claims can be submitted if your flight was delayed due to reasons within the airline's control, such as technical problems or crew shortages. Extraordinary circumstances, like severe weather or air traffic control strikes, do not qualify for compensation. To strengthen your claim, keep your boarding pass, booking confirmation, and any communication with the airline.
