EU Standardizes Nine-Month Limit for Flight Compensation Claims

European Union rules now set a nine-month deadline for flight disruption compensation claims. This applies if your flight is canceled, overbooked, or delayed by three hours or more. You must submit your claim within nine months of the flight date.

The new rule replaces varying national time limits across Europe. In the past, some countries allowed passengers several years to file claims.

Standard compensation payouts remain the same under EU Regulation 261/2004. Passengers can still receive between 250 euros and 600 euros based on flight distance. Airlines must now respond to compensation claims within 30 days. This update was reported by EIN Presswire.
