The Delay Was Due To Extraordinary Circumstances Beyond Your Control: Fill & Download for Free

Whether you are entitled to financial compensation depends on two factors.If you missed your connecting flight due to a short delay of your first flight, and the arrival time at your final destination exceeds the scheduled arrival time of the flight originally booked by more than three hours, you might be entitled to compensation.Secondly, the flight delay must not be caused by extraordinary circumstances. Extraordinary circumstances are circumstances beyond the airline’s control, however the airline must prove both that the delay was caused by the extraordinary circumstance and that the delay could not have been avoided although the airline took all reasonable measures.Good luck!

Yes, there are chances that you can claim for delayed flights due to Strike, if the other airlines are operating.I was flying with Austrian Airlines from overseas to Germany via Austria. My first flight was late but still in the plane, they told us that we would catch the connecting flight (both with Austrian Airlines).Austrian Airlines - An EU Regulated Airlines - Flight Compensation RuleIf your Austrian Airlines flight delays for more than 3 hours on arrival, you could have claimed compensation of up to 600 Euros, depending upon the distance of your flight.As Austrian Airlines is an EU regulated airline and it arrived in Austria, there were chances to claim for delay, if the delay was of 3 hours or more in accordance with EU Regulation 261/2004.However you cannot claim, as the delay was of only few minutes.They were wrong. Because of a few minutes we missed it.Missed Flight ConnectionsVery unfortunate & annoying case.Did you know? If you missed your connecting flight due to your first flight delays due to airlines responsibility, they should arrange a flight as soon as possible. You may have been also offered a return flight to the original destination.There was no other flight that day, so I had to spend the night in Austria. The next morning we got a flight but I arrived 10 hours late.However, as you were offered a flight of next day, they should have also arranged hotel accommodation for you.You should understand your rights on flight delays.You got the flight from Austria, if I am not wrong, which arrived 10 hours later in Germany. So for the flight which departed from an EU country and arrived 10 hours later in an EU country, you are eligible to claim compensation of up to 400 Euros.You may use Flight Delay Compensation Calculator to know the amount you may claim.The service staff claimed that there was supposed to be another flight by Lufthansa that day one hour later but due to the strikes not. That's why they claim that I don't get any compensation because of the strike. Is that right? I mean, I missed my connection flight because the first one was late.Flight Delays Due To StrikeIf the flight delays due to Strike and even other airlines are not operating any flights, you cannot claim as such situations are considered as extraordinary circumstances which are beyond the control of airlines.I hope this information is useful & you get the money back from the airlines. If airlines has already refused you may contact Claim Company or use Flight Delay Claim Letter for claim yourself.Cheers,Oliver.

In case the cancellations occur due to extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the airline, such as political instability, natural disaster, civil war, insurrection or riot, flood, etc. or due to cancellations and delays clearly attributable to air traffic control (ATC). No compensation shall be payable to any of the affected passengers even if all reasonable measures had been taken by the airline.For another issue against airline you can search Resolver India for raising your issue.
