(EU261 = the very powerful compensation laws for delays/cancellations on flights departing from an EU airport)


Also flights arriving into EU if operated by an airline licensed in an EU member state.

This was very helpful this winter while Lufthansa’s ground handling was in full meltdown mode. On three separate occasions Lufthansa failed to get my luggage to its final destination on time so I was able to get reimbursed for replacement clothes and toiletries while Lufthansa tracked down my bags.

There is no such guaranteed compensation in the US.


Sure, but my point was to make sure readers understood 'EU261' is a law, not just one flight.

Yes it's much stronger than the USDOT ones.
