How to be compensated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines on the Amsterdam (AMS) - Humberside (HUY) line

From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, your departure with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to Humberside didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 370 km of flight, the company KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Amsterdam - Humberside is eligible?

The compensation for flight AMS-HUY is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If KLM Royal Dutch Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Amsterdam airport.

The impact of a strike on your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol terminal is also included in the legal package due by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.
