If you've experienced delays or cancellations on Swiss International Air Lines, you may be eligible for compensation of up to {ec261compensation} per person.
Based on the airline's most recent on-time performance data, out of 654 flight departures in the last 24 hours, 59.48% were on time.
Regardless of whether you're at home or abroad when you find out about your Swiss International Air Lines flight cancellation, you're going to have a lot of questions and concerns. The first thing to know is that Swiss International Air Lines 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 Swiss International Air Lines canceled flight compensation to help make up for the disruption.
Under EU regulations, Swiss International Air Lines should pay passengers up to {ec261compensation} 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:
Swiss International Air Lines 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 Swiss International Air Lines flight cancellation compensation owed. Typical examples include bad weather or a strike by air traffic control.
If you've experienced a delay due to Swiss International Air Lines, it's worth checking whether you're eligible for compensation under EU regulation. Passengers delayed by Swiss International Air Lines for 3 hours or more are entitled to up to {ec261compensation} per person.
When filing for flight delay compensation, Swiss International Air Lines 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 Swiss International Air Lines flight delay compensation.
Exceptions:
Airlines like Swiss International Air Lines 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.

Because Swiss International Air Lines 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.
