Refund and compensation Brussels Airlines: route Manchester to Brussels

If your trip departing from Manchester Airport and arriving at Brussels Airport operated by Brussels Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Manchester and Brussels (536 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Brussels Airlines.

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 Brussels Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Manchester Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Brussels Airlines Manchester - Brussels is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Brussels. If Brussels Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Brussels Airport, your claim is legitimate.

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

What are the conditions for Brussels Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Brussels Airlines compensation
