Under what conditions is your flight delay eligible for compensation?
The amount of compensation is dependant on the distance of the flight - not on the amount you paid for your ticket. Fundamentally your flight has to arrive at its destination with a delay of at least 3 hours and be applicable under current eu-regulation. Your claims are valid up to 6 years retrospectively. Here is an overview of which compensation you’ll be entitled to, based on the circumstances of your delay:
