Eurowings Flight Cancellation Compensation

Regardless of whether you're at home or abroad when you find out about your Eurowings flight cancellation, you're going to have a lot of questions and concerns. The first thing to know is that Eurowings should find you a new flight, or offer you a full refund.

But because flight cancellations almost always play havoc with your travel plans, you should check whether you're also entitled to claim Eurowings canceled flight compensation to help make up for the disruption.

Under EU regulations, Eurowings should pay passengers up to $700 per person when they cancel flights at late notice — that is, any flight cancellation less than 14 days before it was due to depart.

Exceptions:
Eurowings will not have to pay compensation if they were able to offer a replacement flight with similar departure and arrival times to the original. You can check the exact requirements on our flight cancellation compensation page.

Airlines also don't have to pay compensation if extraordinary circumstances were at play. That means that if an unusual situation occurred that was outside of the airline's control but forced a cancellation, there's no Eurowings flight cancellation compensation owed. Typical examples include bad weather or a strike by air traffic control.

About Eurowings

Eurowings Europe is a low-cost carrier (LCC) based at Vienna International Airport that was founded by Deutsche Lufthansa AG. In 2015, the Lufthansa Group changed the name of the proposed carrier from EWAT GmbH to Eurowings Europe GmbH, stating that the new carrier will help the company's goals of expanding its LCC operations. Eurowings Europe operates a European regional network from its hub in Vienna, using a fleet of A320s. On June 23, 2016, Deutsche Lufthansa AG inaugurated Eurowings Europe's service operations with a Vienna-Alicante flight. Eurowings Europe will gradually take over some of Eurowings' flights in Vienna. The airline is a subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG's Eurowings Group.

The Lufthansa Group has announced plans to reposition Eurowings as a short-haul and point-to-point carrier, with long-haul operations being transferred to network operators within the airline group by the end of 2020.
