Jack, Regulation 261/2004 establishes common rules for compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding, flight cancellations, or long delays. It applies to all EU flights, including those departing from non-EU countries with a destination in the EU. Compensation amounts range from €250 to €600, depending on the flight distance. Passengers are entitled to compensation for delays of at least three hours, cancellations, or being denied boarding due to overbooking. The regulation also mandates that airlines provide refreshments and accommodation where appropriate. Claims can be filed directly with the airline or through specialized flight compensation companies. For more detailed information, you can refer to the official text of the regulation.

I'm too lazy to do the added research myself Friends, Well, hasn’t the new year started with a flurry? We need to think about Greenland, and thus European defence, and thus supply chains. At least or discussion of these complex topics come with a reading suggestion. We also need to think about what is happening with Reg261. That process, which started in 2014, is now in the Last Chance Saloon. If the Council (and thus the airlines) do not blink and concede on something (maybe everything) the reform lapses completely, taking us all the way back to square 1. Tricky. Furthermore, we need to celebrate Lufthansa’s centenary. But first, it being the start of the year, we should indulge in the grand tradition of trying to make predictions for the year. We suggest using the Roadrunner and his long-time foil, Wile E Coyote for that task. They give us the framework we need to see what might happen.
