Compensation for delayed Brussels Airlines flight

Even though airlines like Brussels Airlines strive to keep to their scheduled times, flights can still arrive late. Fortunately, as a traveller, you are protected by airline passenger rights when Brussels Airlines flights are delayed.

Since Brussels Airlines is based in the EU, almost all of its flights are protected by EC 261, one of the most comprehensive laws protecting air passenger rights worldwide.

EC Regulation 261 grants passengers the right to seek compensation when they have experienced delayed, cancelled, or overbooked flights that are not their fault.

There are some exceptional circumstances that may exempt airlines from paying compensation, such as bad weather or problems at the airport. However, if the delay is caused by technical problems or a strike by airline staff, you are likely to be owed compensation under Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004.

Brussels Airlines Flight Cancellation Compensation

If your Brussels Airlines flight has been cancelled, European laws on air passenger rights state that you have the right to alternative transportation to your destination or a refund from Brussels Airlines.

If you received a cancellation notice from Brussels Airlines less than 14 days before your scheduled departure, you may also be eligible to claim compensation of up to {{ec261compensation} per person.

When Brussels Airlines cancels flights, it will usually attempt to rebook passengers on another flight at no extra cost. If this does not work for you, you may request other changes or choose to no longer take the trip.

If Brussels Airlines books you a new flight that arrives at a similar time to your original flight, it is not required to pay compensation. This is because your plans will have minimal disruption. However, in many cases, passengers whose flights are cancelled at the last minute have the right to file a claim for compensation against Brussels Airlines.

These rights do not apply if the flight cancellation was caused by an event beyond Brussels Airlines's control, such as severe weather conditions or an accident at the airport. Such events are referred to as exceptional circumstances.

Additionally, you may be covered by the equivalent UK passenger rights law, so called "UK 261", depending on the flight.

The EC 261 regulation gives passengers the right to claim for compensation when they have suffered delayed, cancelled or overbooked flights, which are no fault of their own. Passengers are also entitled to claim for past flights — often you can still claim for flights in the past 3 years.
