Flight Compensation Eligibility Guide

Since your flight is departing from the UK (which was part of the EU when EU261 was established), and considering the schedule change is significant, you may still be eligible for compensation. Here are some key points:
- Flights departing from the UK are covered under EU261.
- A schedule change of more than 14 days before departure might affect compensation eligibility.
- You can claim both a refund and compensation if your travel plans are significantly impacted.
You may want to contact the airline directly to confirm your eligibility and proceed with claims.

If your flight schedule was changed with less than 14 days' notice and departs from the UK, you may still be eligible for compensation under EU261, in addition to a refund. Compensation is typically €* for flights over *,* km. Contact the airline to confirm your eligibility and proceed with claims.

The term "may" is used because eligibility for compensation under EU Regulation */* involves several factors, and not all situations automatically qualify. Here are some reasons why "may" is used:
- The airline might have offered a rerouting option that meets certain criteria.
- Unforeseeable extraordinary circumstances, like severe weather, could exempt the airline.
- The airline might dispute the claim, requiring further negotiation or legal action.
It's always best to contact the airline directly for confirmation and a more definitive answer on your specific situation.
