      If your flight from Raleigh Durham International Airport is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under European Union Regulation EU 261/2004 or EC 261/2004, depending on the circumstances of your journey. These regulations protect air passengers’ rights and outline the compensations available for flight disruptions. To be eligible for compensation under EU 261, your flight must have departed from an airport within the European Union, or your flight must have landed in the EU with a European carrier, even if it originated outside the EU. For example, if you are flying from RDU to a European destination with a European airline, you may be covered by these regulations.

      The compensation amount is determined by the flight distance and the length of the delay. For flights up to 1,500 kilometers, you may be entitled to €250 per passenger. For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 kilometers, the compensation can be up to €400 per passenger. For flights over 3,500 kilometers, compensation can reach up to €600 per passenger. These rights apply to cancellations, long delays, and denied boarding due to overbooking. If you experience a delay of more than three hours or your flight is cancelled without sufficient notice, you should gather your flight number, booking details, and keep all travel documents to support your claim.
