EU261/2004 Kompensation Fusklapp. Bra att ha på flygplatsen

Jag tänkte göra en liten fusklista på vad man ska komma ihåg när man är försenad. Det händer det ju att man är stressed på flygplatsen och man kanske inte har internet. Då är det lurigt att traggla igenom 164 sidor tråd med hänvisning och länkar. Ni som använder EU261 regelbundet och kan det (SAS-resenärer?? HeHe) utantill behöver den kanske inte men vi andra kan nog ha nytta av den. Alla fel är minna egna och rätta mig gärna då jag gör fel. Tanken är inte att diskutera om ngn specifika resa det kan tas i andra trådar. Fyll gärna på med mål lagar och regler som har med claim och hänvisningar till mål so man lätt kan fylla och hänvisa till mål när man mailar in sin claim.

Grundtider att hålla koll på

If an airline expects a flight to be delayed, passengers are entitled to refreshments and communication if the expected delay is more than:

  • two hours, in the case of a type 1 flight
  • three hours, in the case of a type 2 flight
  • four hours, in the case of a type 3 flight
Flight types are as follows:

  1. A flight of less than 1500 km in distance
  2. A flight within the EU of greater than 1500 km in distance, or any other flight of greater than 1500 km but less than 3500 km in distance
  3. A flight not within EU of greater than 3500 km in distance
Värt att notera att de står ”expects a flight”.

Över fem timmar

Additionally, if the flight is expected to depart on the day after the original scheduled departure time, passengers are entitled to accommodation.

If a flight is delayed by five hours, passengers are additionally entitled to abandon their journey and receive a refund for all unused tickets, a refund on tickets used already if the flight no longer serves any purpose in relation to their original travel plan, and, if relevant, a flight back to their original point of departure at the earliest opportunity.

Finally, court cases (see below) have established that a passenger experiencing a loss of time equivalent to three hours or more at the final destination is entitled to compensation as though his flight had been cancelled.

Vad kan man få när man väntar, över fem timmar.

Refreshments, communication and accommodation
When passengers become entitled to these assistances, they must be offered, free of charge,

  • Meals and refreshments in proportion to the waiting time
  • Two telephone calls, fax or telex messages, or emails
  • Hotel accommodation and transport between the airport and the hotel, if a stay of one or more nights, or a stay additional to that intended by the passenger becomes necessary
In the case of a delay, the airline may withdraw or abrogate these entitlements if offering them would delay the flight further.

Rerouting or refunding

Rerouting or refunding is, at the passenger's choice, one of the following three compensations:

  1. Repayment of the cost of unused flight tickets, and for used tickets where the flight(s) taken no longer serve(s) any purpose in relation to the passenger's original travel plan, and where applicable, a flight back to the original point of departure at the earliest opportunity
  2. Rerouting under similar conditions to the intended final destination at the earliest opportunity
  3. Rerouting under similar conditions to the intended final destination at the passenger's leisure, subject to the availability of seats.
If a passenger's destination is an airport at a city with multiple airports and rerouting results in the passenger being taken to another of those airports, the airline must also pay for transport for the passenger to the original intended airport or an agreed nearby destination.

Cash compensation is a payment of:

  1. Euro 250/400/600 for flights type 1/2/3
Where rerouting is offered and results in the passenger arriving within two/three/four hours of the scheduled arrival time for a type 1/2/3 flight, the compensation payable is halved.

This payment is strictly a compensation for the customer's inconvenience and does not replace or form a part of either of the following two compensation categories.

The Airline is not obliged to provide cash compensation in the case of extraordinary circumstances which could not have been foreseen even if the airline took all reasonable precautions, according to Article 5, Paragraph 3.

Saker som kan vara otydliga


The regulation applies to any passenger:

  • departing from an airport located in the territory of a Member State to which the Treaty applies;
The protection accorded to passengers departing from or to an airport located in a Member State should be extended to those leaving an airport located in a third country for one situated in a Member State, when a Community carrier operates the flight and where a community carrier is defined as any carrier licensed to operate within that community.

  • departing from an EU member state, or
  • travelling to an EU member state on an airline based in an EU member state
Jag har inte tagit med Cancellation här eftersom om du åker ”fin” flyg så brukar de boka om det på egen hand eller samråd med passagerna. Och åker du ”ful” flyg är det bara att starta upp datorn och leta efter en resa hem och ta fighten när du är hemma igen. Ev. som Norwegian resenär så blir du ombokad men med mycket tid att utforska den flygplats du befinner dig på.

Och när jag kommer hem ??

Ja det är nu det är dags att maila in sin Claim enligt EU204/2004
Först en standard mall att bara fylla i.

After Delays with the flight _______ on the ____________.
Departing from _____
Arriving at _________
We were __________ hours late.

I want compensation under EU regulations 261/2004. In the Amount of ____
I also want compensation for my actual cost in the amount of ____
Please see the attached receipts.

I enclose also the ECJ's ruling in Case C-257/14 of 17 September 2015 which states that passengers are entitled to compensation even when delays or cancellations caused by unforeseen technical errors.



Och en länk till en EU form om man föredrar den.
http://ec.europa.eu/transport/themes/passengers/air/doc/complain_form/eu_complaint_form_en.pdf
Det gäller att ta reda på flygplatsen eller på planet att ta reda på varför man är sen. Trasiga plan är inga extraordinär orsak utan förmodligen den vanligaste så jag har lämnat referens till den domen i min Mall.

Men det finns flera och vi fyller på med de olika domarna för de mest vanliga fallen så det blir enkelt att fylla i och skicka in.

Edit 1 Jag glömde ju denna del om återbetalning. Jag har läst här på forumet om medlemar som bara har fått rese voucher som återbetalning.

Refunds and compensations payable under this regulation may be paid in cash, by electronic bank transfer, bank draft, or cheque. With the signed agreement of a passenger, they may also be paid in travel vouchers or other services.

Fall att tänka på. Eftersom det inte ger bolagen möjlighet att "överge" passagerare även om det är Extrema omständighter utanför detras kontroll:

In the case of Denise McDonagh v Ryanair Ltd (C-12/11), the Third Chamber of the European Court of Justice ruled that natural disasters such as the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull and the subsequent cloud of volcanic ash in 2010, which shut down most European air traffic, do constitute "extraordinary circumstances" that release air carriers from the obligation to pay compensation, but that there is no such category as "super-extraordinary circumstances" that would release them from the obligation to provide care. According to the court's ruling, air carriers continued to have an obligation of care towards passengers under Art. 5 and 8 of the regulation during the week-long shutdown of European airspace, and this obligation does not have a temporal or monetary limit.[9]
