Compensation FAQ
When am I owed EUR 600?+
On flights over 3,500 km covered by EC261: arriving 4+ hours late (or 3-4 hours at a reduced EUR 300), when the cause was within the airline's control.
Does EC261 cover flights from Saudi Arabia and the Gulf?+
Yes, in two cases: any flight departing an EU airport (e.g., Paris to Riyadh), or arriving in the EU on a European carrier (e.g., Riyadh to Frankfurt on Lufthansa).
How much does the claims processor take?+
Typically 25-35% of the payout, only on success — nothing upfront, nothing if you lose.
How long does a claim take?+
Weeks to months depending on the airline — longer if legal escalation is needed, but you do nothing after filing.
