Some advice to claim Kuwait Airways

Kuwait Airways delay must be higher than 3 hours to be entitled to a compensation.
Overbooked Kuwait Airways flight
Overbooked Kuwait Airways flight: When Kuwait Airways sells more tickets than the actual number of people they can accommodate.
The overbooking is legal, but you can get a compensation up to € 600.
Kuwait Airways aims to avoid empty seats due to no-shows, but this must be legally sanctioned.
When the Kuwait Airways passenger has received a reservation or any document stating the payment has been accepted and registered, it is a “confirmed reservation”. Boarding denials happen when a passenger presents to the gate but Kuwait Airways refuses them access to the plane.
How do I know how long the Kuwait Airways flight delay has been?
- Contact a Lexority attorney to tell you how long the Kuwait Airways flight has been delayed without any doubt. Take in to account that the following webpages are not always accurate and need a payment record.
- Use the web Flight Stats where if you register you can see the Kuwait Airways status of all flights including those of years ago.
- Another way is to go to Flight Radar where you can see the last seven days Kuwait Airways flight delays without registering. After registration you can also see delayed flights from up to two years ago.
Note: When the Kuwait Airways delay is very close to three hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% accurate, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the law dictates has to be taken in consideration.
