What does EU261 cover?
EU261 can involve different protections depending on the route, carrier, and disruption. Eligibility and amount are fact-specific, and extraordinary-circumstance questions can matter.

Save the facts before the details disappear.
Record the operating carrier, departure airport, destination, and final arrival time.
Keep the notice, boarding pass, booking record, and receipts.
Check whether the route and carrier fit the scope of the rule before making a claim.
Avoid the common evidence gap
Travelers often remember the delay but lose the timestamps, rebooking messages, or receipts. Save those items first, then use the free scan to organize the timeline.
