      Air Passenger Rights at Manchester Airport

      If your flight from Manchester Airport is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 (commonly known as EU 261 or EC 261). This regulation protects air passengers when significant disruptions occur. To qualify, your flight must either:

      • Depart from an EU airport (such as Manchester Airport), or
      • Arrive at an EU airport on an EU-registered airline.

      Compensation applies for delays of 3 hours or more, cancellations, and denied boarding due to overbooking. The amount you can claim depends on the distance of your flight:

      • Up to 1,500 km: €250 per passenger
      • 1,500 km to 3,500 km: €400 per passenger
      • Over 3,500 km: €600 per passenger

      These rights apply regardless of your ticket price and cover most scheduled and charter flights. In case of cancellations, you have the right to a full refund or rerouting, and airlines must provide care such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation if necessary.

      For delays of more than two hours, airlines must offer assistance at the airport. For longer delays or last-minute cancellations, you may be entitled to financial compensation unless the disruption was caused by extraordinary circumstances (such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes).
