Flight compensation British Airways:
Rotterdam — London

Claim and compensation for flight British Airways Rotterdam - London

Your claim for compensation for the British Airways flight from Rotterdam to London deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Rotterdam and London (306 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by British Airways.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Did you know? Even if British Airways is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Rotterdam Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight British Airways Rotterdam - London is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if British Airways offers you a voucher for your Rotterdam - London flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Rotterdam, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for British Airways to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rotterdam airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to British Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your British Airways compensation

Don't be fooled by British Airways's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Rotterdam, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for British Airways.

What are your rights at Rotterdam airport in case of prolonged wait?

During these long hours of waiting in the Rotterdam Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Rotterdam shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your RTM-LCY trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from British Airways?

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take British Airways's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company British Airways will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
