Air Passenger Rights at Sacramento International Airport (SMF)

When traveling from Sacramento International Airport, it is important to understand your air passenger rights, especially in cases of flight delays or cancellations. If your flight is delayed or cancelled, you may be entitled to compensation under certain conditions. For flights operated by European airlines or flights departing from a European airport and arriving at SMF, the EU Regulation 261/2004 (EU 261/EC 261) applies. This regulation protects passengers by offering compensation for significant delays, cancellations, or denied boarding.

To qualify for EU 261 compensation, your flight must either depart from an EU member state or be operated by an EU-based airline arriving at SMF. The compensation amount depends on the distance of your flight:

• Flights up to 1,500 km: up to €250 per passenger
• Flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km: up to €400 per passenger
• Flights over 3,500 km: up to €600 per passenger

If your flight is delayed by more than three hours upon arrival or is cancelled without sufficient notice, you may be entitled to claim compensation. This applies even if your flight to SMF originated outside the EU, provided it was operated by an EU airline. Passengers have the right to care (such as meals, refreshments, and accommodation if needed) during long delays.

When your flight is disrupted, always keep your boarding pass, record your flight details, and document all communications with the airline. If you experience a delayed or cancelled flight at Sacramento International Airport, you can check your eligibility for compensation based on EU 261/EC 261 regulations.
