Every quotation on this site, read 2026-09-10
Flight delay compensation, in the regulation's own words Every figure on this site is one passage from the instrument itself, quoted with a link to the page and the day it was read.
15 rules quoted verbatim Each one is a passage from the instrument's own page, not a summary of it. Every quote dated and checkable The page each quote came from is kept as text as it read on the day, last 2026-09-10. 2 jurisdictions Where a regime carries no such rule, the site says so and names the section that was read. By what went wrong How much the payment is 2 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this A long delay 1 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this A cancelled flight 1 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this Being denied boarding 2 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this Getting your money back 2 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this Being flown another way 2 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this Meals, a hotel and transport while you wait 1 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this When the airline does not have to pay 1 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this Being asked to give up your seat 2 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this How long the airline has to answer you 1 of 2 regimes carry a rule on this How to read the instrument yourself How to read a cell A cell is a quotation, not a verdict: it says what the instrument wrote, which is where any claim starts and is not the same as knowing how a particular airline will answer you. Where a regime says nothing, the cell records that and names the section that would carry the rule if it existed, because an absence is the thing that most often decides whether a passenger has a claim at all.

Each quote is proven mechanically: the reduced text of every source page is committed and each quote must be a byte-exact substring of it, so a rule that changes fails the ingest rather than going stale on the page. No figure here comes from a summary of the law, and this site states nothing about your rights in its own voice.
