Procedure: KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight compensation from Humberside to Amsterdam

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 370 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Humberside Airport (HUY)
  • Arrival airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
  • Flight distance: 370 km (~0h28)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines owes you 250 €.

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

What are the conditions for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Humberside, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

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