Flight delays and cancellations in October 2025
October 2025 saw a significant number of flight delays and cancellations across Europe, disrupting travel plans for thousands of passengers. What many travellers may not realise is that under EU Regulation 261/2004, they could be entitled to compensation of up to €600 — even if the disruption happened weeks or months ago.
In this article, we highlight some of the most heavily affected flights from October 2025. If you were on one of these and reached your destination late, you might still be eligible to file a valid claim. In Germany, passengers have up to three years to assert their rights retroactively.
