This Regulation does not apply to passengers travelling free of charge therefore in
this case you cannot claim compensation.

EC Regulation is about the rights of the passenger who suffered the problem, not of
who payed the flight ticket. In all cases, the passenger is entitled to compensation.

Compensation is due from the operating airline which is not always the airline you
purchased the ticket from.

In case of a flight of more than 3500 km, if the arrival delay is more than 3 hours but
less than 4 hours the operating air carrier may reduce the amount of compensation
(based on the distance) by 50%.

The right to compensation does expire. Generally a claim can be submitted up to 3
years after the date of the flight. However, the time limit varies from country to country
(e.g. in Hungary you have 5 years) or set by the airline in their GTCC (General Terms
and Conditions of Carriage).

compensation due is paid as soon as possible.

The Regulation applies to all air travel within the European Union by Community or
non-Community air carriers, as well as to any flight departing from the EU and arriving
outside the EU or departing from outside the EU and arriving in the EU. In the latter
case the operating air carrier has to be registered in the EU. The Regulation of the
European Communities is directly applicable and binding not only in Hungary, but in
all 27 EU Member States. Moreover, the rules apply in the countries of the European
Economic Area (EEA), thus in Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein plus Switzerland.

rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding

offer the passengers reimbursement of the full cost of ticket plus the additional costs
incurred in connection with the cancellation. In many cases, airlines offer a travel
voucher, but you are not obliged to accept it.

Under European Law (Reg. 261/2004) air passengers are entitled to compensation of
up to 600 EUR in the event of longer than 3 hours delay, cancellation or denied
boarding due to overbooking.
