| Flight Distance | Delay 3+ hrs | Cancellation |
|---|---|---|
| Under 1,500 km | €250 | €250 |
| 1,500–3,500 km (intra-EU) | €400 | €400 |
| Over 3,500 km | €600 (4+ hr delay) | €600 |
Amounts may be reduced by 50% if the airline provides re-routing arriving within 2–4 hours of original schedule depending on distance. "Extraordinary circumstances" (genuine severe weather, air traffic control strikes, security incidents) may exempt the airline — technical faults and staff shortages do not qualify as extraordinary.
