      Air Passenger Rights at Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport

      If your flight from Lisbon Airport is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (also known as EC 261). This law protects passengers departing from EU airports, such as Lisbon, or arriving in the EU with an EU-based airline. Compensation rights apply if your flight was delayed by more than three hours on arrival, or if your flight was cancelled without sufficient notice.

      The amount of compensation depends on the flight distance:

      • For flights up to 1,500 km: up to €250 per person
      • For flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: up to €400 per person
      • For flights over 3,500 km: up to €600 per person
      Compensation can be claimed for delays, cancellations, or denied boarding due to overbooking, as long as the disruption was not caused by extraordinary circumstances (such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes).

      Your passenger rights apply if your flight departed from Lisbon Humberto Delgado Airport to any destination worldwide, or if you arrived in Lisbon from a non-EU country with an EU-based airline. For flights departing outside the EU, EU 261 compensation is only available if the airline is headquartered in the EU.

      If your flight is delayed, cancelled, or you are denied boarding, you should:

      • Request written confirmation of the disruption from the airline
      • Keep your boarding pass, tickets, and all travel documents
      • Document any expenses incurred due to the disruption
      • Record your communications with the airline
