Flight Delayed by 2 Hours: How to Get a Refund
Flight delays can be extremely frustrating, especially when you are on a tight schedule. If your flight was delayed by 2 hours, you may be entitled to a refund or other compensation. Below, we explain everything you need to know to get a refund for a flight delayed by 2 hours.
Based on the European Regulation (EC) n. 261/2004, passengers have specific rights when their flights are delayed. Although a 2-hour delay does not automatically entitle you to financial compensation like longer delays, there are other forms of assistance you can request.
If your flight is delayed by more than 2 hours, the airline must offer you assistance, which may include:
Meals and drinks in relation to waiting time
Two telephone calls, fax or email
Hotel accommodation if the delay requires an overnight stay (and transportation between the airport and the hotel)
If the delay exceeds 5 hours and you decide not to continue the journey, you are entitled to a full refund of the ticket for the part of the journey not taken.
Getting a refund may seem complicated, but by following these simple steps, you can ensure you receive what you deserve.
Make sure you have the following documents at hand:
Airline Tickets
Booking Confirmation
Any communication from the airline regarding flight delay
Extra expenses caused by the delay (accommodation, meals, transport)
Send a formal request to the airline, specifying the details of the delayed flight and requesting a refund or compensation according to European rules. Include all relevant documents and clearly explain the impact of the delay on your travel.
