Flight cancellations and delays in February 2024
February 2024 brought major disruptions to air travel across Europe, with widespread delays and cancellations impacting thousands of passengers. What many travellers don’t realise is that they may still be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 — up to 600 €, even if the disruption happened months ago.
In this article, we highlight some of the most heavily affected flights from February 2024. If you were on one of these and arrived at your destination late, you might still have the right to compensation. In Germany, passengers can assert their rights retroactively for up to three years.
