Flight cancellations and delays in January 2024
January 2024 brought a wave of flight delays and cancellations across Europe, disrupting the travel plans of thousands of passengers. What many don’t realise is that under EU Regulation 261/2004, you could be entitled to up to €600 in compensation — even if the disruption happened months ago.
In this article, we highlight some of the most significantly delayed or cancelled flights from January 2024. If you were on one of these and arrived late at your destination, you might still have the right to claim compensation. In Germany, passengers can assert these rights retroactively for up to three years.
