Am I entitled to compensation?
In the unfortunate event that your Brussels Airlines flight is delayed, the airline will be obliged to pay compensation only if you get to your final destination 3 or more hours later than the originally planned arrival time.
Keep in mind that according to EC261 you will not be eligible for compensation in case the delay is due to the so-called extraordinary circumstances, such as bad weather, medical emergencies, bird strikes, security risks, union and airport strikes (but not airline strikes).
You can easily check your flight’s eligibility with our flight delay compensation calculator.
How much compensation are you entitled to for your delayed flight?
Depending on your flight distance, you can get compensation from €250 up to €600. Fortunately, EC261 is valid for flights departing and arriving at EU airports, so you can also be compensated for long haul flights with Brussels Airlines. The table below will give you a detailed breakdown of the reimbursement amounts.
| € 250 | € 400 | € 600 |
| Less than 1.500 km | Between 1.500 & 3.500 km | More than 3.500 km |
Brussels Airlines Cancelled Flight
As we mentioned before, you have certain rights not only if you experience a delay but also if your flight is cancelled. In case of a Brussels Airlines flight cancellation, the carrier has to provide you with a refund for the ticket price you originally paid or offer you a reroute to your final destination.
Additionally, according to EC261 you are entitled to flight cancellation compensation if you were notified by the airline less than 14 days prior to the scheduled departure. You can consult the table below for the specific conditions that need to be fulfilled. The compensation amount again depends on the distance covered by the flight (or the whole journey if you had a connecting flight).
Do not hesitate to contact SkyRefund if you experienced a delayed or cancelled flight with Brussels Airlines. We will contact the customer services and handle the whole process for you.
Denied boarding
Unfortunately, air passengers being denied boarding due to overbooking is not unheard of. However, EC261 protects your rights in these situations as well and depending on your flight itinerary, the reimbursement amount can also reach €600! You can check your eligibility with our compensation calculator and leave the rest to us.
