Here’s how we got paid over $2,800 from United! Our flight from Brussels to Washington DC was cancelled and United rebooked us for a flight over 24 hours later. We filed a claim (through email not in person) via United’s customer service for EU261 compensation and received €600 each via check 8 weeks later! EU261 is a law that protects passengers. It applies to flights from the EU on any carrier, flights within the EU, and flights arriving to the EU on a EU carrier. It does not apply under “extraordinary circumstances” beyond the airline’s control, such as bad weather & air traffic control delays. The process to file a claim varies depending on the airline as well as the window to file a claim. Did you know about EU261? Have you ever filed for compensation?
