    Which countries and airlines are subject to EU passenger rights?

    The EU air passenger rights regulation, EC 261, applies to all countries and territories under the European Union, as well as the UK, Iceland, Norway, and Switzerland. Likewise, all airlines registered within these member states and operating within the EU are subject to this regulation.


    How far back can I get compensation?

    On average, you can make a claim for a flight delay or cancellation from as far back as 3 years ago but different countries have different limitation periods. You can check them here.
