Flight compensation Flybe:
Connaught — Birmingham

Legal right to compensation: Flybe flight between Connaught and Birmingham

Your claim for compensation for the Flybe flight from Connaught to Birmingham deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 498 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Flybe, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Flybe Connaught - Birmingham is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Connaught and Birmingham entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Flybe to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Flybe compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Connaught - Birmingham trip is due to an internal strike within Flybe, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Ireland West Knock Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Flybe has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Flybe for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Ireland West Knock Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
