The passenger chart of rights clearly states your rights in case of common inconveniences such as: denied boarding, flight cancellation or strong delay. Thanks to these dispositions, you have the chance to claim and get the compensation due for the inconveniences experienced.
The protection concerns those flights departing from an european airport or from a non-european country, which have as a final destination an European airport, provided that the airline is european. It is important to be aware of these rules.
The charter of rights clearly states the conditions to exercise the passenger rights. Having a flight ticket with a confirmed reservation and respecting the boarding procedure are crucial steps to use the provided protection.
However, there are certain circumstances in which the passenger rights may not be applicable, for example in case of free flights or discounted rates not available to the public. It is important to be aware of these exceptions to have a full picture of your rights.

In case of excess of bookings, the airline must do a first check to identify potential volunteers willing to leave their seats, in exchange for benefits to be agreed. If there are no volunteers, the passenger not allowed to board the flight has the right the following to get from the airline:
MONETARY COMPENSATION calculated based on the route (intra-community or international)
- Intra-community flights shorter than or equal to 1500 kilometres: €250
- Intra-community flights shorter than 1500 kilometres: €400
- International flights shorter than or equal to 1500 kilometres: €250
- International flights between 1500 and 3500 kilometres: €400
- International flights longer than 3500 kilometres: €600
By offering to the passenger the opportunity to fly on a different flight, whose arrival time is not more than 4 hours later than the original arrival time, the airline can reduce by 50% the amount of the monetary compensation owed to the passenger. The compensation amount can be paid in cash, via bank transfer, via bank cheques or payments, or travel vouchers and/or other services agreed with the passenger, regardless of the ticket price.
