SunExpress Flight Cancellation Compensation

Regardless of whether you're at home or abroad when you find out about your SunExpress flight cancellation, you're going to have a lot of questions and concerns. The first thing to know is that SunExpress should find you a new flight, or offer you a full refund.

But because flight cancellations almost always play havoc with your travel plans, you should check whether you're also entitled to claim SunExpress canceled flight compensation to help make up for the disruption.

Under EU regulations, SunExpress should pay passengers up to {ec261_compensation} per person when they cancel flights at late notice — that is, any flight cancellation less than 14 days before it was due to depart.

Exceptions:
SunExpress will not have to pay compensation if they were able to offer a replacement flight with similar departure and arrival times to the original. You can check the exact requirements on our flight cancellation compensation page.

Airlines also don't have to pay compensation if extraordinary circumstances were at play. That means that if an unusual situation occurred that was outside of the airline's control but forced a cancellation, there's no SunExpress flight cancellation compensation owed. Typical examples include bad weather or a strike by air traffic control.

SunExpress Flight Delay Compensation

If you've experienced a delay due to SunExpress, it's worth checking whether you're eligible for compensation under EU regulation. Passengers delayed by SunExpress for 3 hours or more are entitled to up to {ec261_compensation} per person.

When filing for flight delay compensation, SunExpress will verify the time of arrival at the final destination, not the departure time. AirHelp possesses one of the most comprehensive flight databases, which allows us to substantiate claims for SunExpress flight delay compensation.

Exceptions:
Airlines like SunExpress aren't obligated to provide compensation if the delay was caused by external factors, such as adverse weather conditions, airport mishaps, or air traffic control strikes. These incidents are deemed extraordinary circumstances.

For more information on what's covered under EU regulations for flight delay compensation, please visit our flight delay compensation page.

Claim up to $700 in compensation if your flight has been delayed, canceled, or overbooked within the last 3 years.

Air Passenger Rights and Flight Compensation

Because SunExpress is based within the EU, almost all the flights they offer are protected by EC 261, one of the world's most comprehensive laws for air passenger rights.

EC Regulation 261 gives passengers the right to claim compensation when they have suffered delayed, canceled, or overbooked flights over which they are not at fault.

Passengers also have the right to seek compensation for earlier flights; it is often still possible to submit claims for flights in the last 3 years.
