Delayed flights. Real compensation.
British Airways is the United Kingdom's flag carrier and one of the world's most recognised full-service airlines, operating from its primary hub at London Heathrow. With a fleet of 262 aircraft — including Airbus A380s, Boeing 777s, and Boeing 787 Dreamliners — British Airways serves destinations across six continents. The average fleet age of 15.3 years reflects its blend of long-serving widebodies and newer NEO narrowbodies. Passengers travelling on British Airways flights departing from EU or UK airports benefit from strong compensation protections. Under EC 261/2004, a delayed or cancelled British Airways flight may entitle you to up to €600 in compensation. Whether you faced a long delay, lost a connection, or were denied boarding, your rights are enforceable. EU Regulation EC 261/2004 entitles you to fixed compensation — regardless of what the airline tells you.
When can you claim?
If your British Airways flight arrived 3+ hours late — regardless of stated reason — you may be entitled to up to €600.
Cancellations announced less than 14 days before departure trigger the same fixed compensation amounts.
If British Airways bumped you due to a full flight, you're entitled to compensation plus a full refund or rerouting.
In most EU countries, you can claim compensation retroactively for disrupted flights up to 6 years ago.
