Finnair AY3817 Delayed Flight Compensation – Check EU261 Rights

Your EU261 Rights for Finnair AY3817 Delayed Flight

Under EU Regulation EC 261/2004, passengers affected by a cancelled or long-delayed flight may be entitled to financial compensation. Since Finnair AY3817 was delayed, you could be eligible to claim compensation if the disruption was not caused by extraordinary circumstances.

The regulation applies to flights departing from the EU or operated by an EU-based airline. Finnair flights are fully covered, meaning passengers have strong legal protection when their travel plans are disrupted.

How much compensation can you get?

Depending on the flight distance and delay duration, compensation under EU261 can reach:

• €250 for flights up to 1,500 km
• €400 for flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
• €600 for flights over 3,500 km

Compensation is paid per passenger and does not depend on the ticket price. Even if the airline offered an alternative flight, you may still be entitled to claim if you arrived at your destination significantly later.
