If the airline has argued meteorological causes, can I claim for my flight?

If there really were meteorological causes, it is considered force majeure, and the airline cannot be blamed. However, it is very common for the airline to automatically refuse compensation on the grounds of extraordinary causes. In general, this is just a pretext and does not correspond to reality. At Flight Claims, we have the means to verify this.

My itinerary has stopovers and a delay on the first flight has made it impossible to catch the second flight, but this was more than 3 hours. Do I have the right to claim?

For legal purposes, a flight with stopovers purchased in a single purchase is considered as a single flight. Therefore, these cases are also claimable if arrival at your destination was impossible with a delay of less than 3 hours.

The airline has changed the schedule of my flight with less than 15 days notice. Am I entitled to claim?

If the notification of the change was made less than 15 days in advance, it is considered as a delay or cancellation of your flight. Therefore, you are entitled to make a claim.
