Flight from Bangalore delayed or cancelled? Claim flight compensation up to €600!

How much compensation can I get for a delayed or cancelled Bangalore flight?

Bangalore is not a part of Europe, hence only flights that originated in Europe or were run by European airlines are eligible for compensation for delays or cancellations on Bangalore flights. Only flights that experienced delays of at least 3 hours or cancellations that occurred within 14 days of the scheduled departure are eligible for compensation. Keep in mind that the airline must be held responsible for the disruption as well.

You might be entitled to flight compensation if your Bangalore flight was delayed by 3 hours or more or cancelled less than 14 days prior to departure. The distance of your flight determines the amount of flight compensation computed per passenger.

Keep in mind that the airline owes you specific assistance if your flight is delayed or cancelled. This includes any important meals, beverages, communications , transportation, and accommodation: all in the form of vouchers. You can directly redeem these vouchers at the airline's service counter in the airport. If the airline doesn't provide vouchers, you can still make the necessary purchases and keep your receipts; they are still in charge of paying you back.

Flight compensation for a delayed flight from/to Bangalore — check if you're eligible now!

According to EU legislation, you can be eligible for flight compensation if your Bangalore flight was delayed. If your flight from Europe to Bangalore was delayed, you may be eligible for flight compensation of up to €600 per passenger, regardless of the airline you were flying with. Be careful; you can only receive flight compensation for flights departing from European airports and/or operated by European airlines because Bangalore is not a part of Europe.

You must fulfil the following criteria to qualify for Bangalore delayed flight compensation:

• The length of the delay: your Bangalore flight arrived more than 3 hours later than scheduled

• The responsibility of the airline: you can only claim Bangalore flight compensation if the airline was to blame for the delay. (More details further down the page; the airline is not obliged to compensate passengers for delays brought on by "extraordinary circumstances").

The length of your flight determines the compensation amount; the longer your flight, the bigger the compensation.

Cancelled flight from Bangalore — Compensation and refund policies

If your Bangalore flight was cancelled, you might be eligible for a ticket refund, flight compensation of up to €600 per passenger, or sometimes both. Continue reading for further information on when you might qualify for any of them!

Claim flight compensation for your cancelled Bangalore flight

You might receive up to €600 in flight compensation per passenger if your Bangalore flight was cancelled. However, your situation must adhere to the following specifications:

1. Less than 14 days before departure, your Bangalore flight was cancelled, AND,

2. The airline was responsible for the cancellation (see the "Extraordinary Circumstances" section for more information on when airlines can refuse to compensate passengers.)

However, if an industrial action—such as a strike or wildfire—caused the Bangalore flight to be cancelled, you cannot file a claim for compensation. These acts count as “extraordinary circumstances”.

Ask for the refund of your flight from Bangalore 

In addition, if your Bangalore flight is cancelled, you can be qualified for a full ticket refund. Compensation differs from this. In the event that a Bangalore flight is cancelled and the airline is at fault, it must make it up to the passengers by offering them compensation. However, each passenger is qualified for a refund if they ultimately decide not to book a flight with the airline. If your flight to Bangalore was cancelled, request a full refund if you were able to prove that:

1. No alternate flight was offered to you by the airline, OR

2. You were given the option to take another flight by the airline, but you declined.

Were you offered a voucher for your cancelled flight from Bangalore? Here’s what you should do.

When a flight is cancelled or delayed, airlines can issue travel vouchers instead of cash refunds or cancellations. Here are some of the reasons we firmly suggest avoiding accepting them:

1. You must book a new flight with the same airline using the travel voucher. Furthermore, the airline may set a time limit for redeeming the voucher.

2. You may have significant issues getting your money back if the airline files for bankruptcy.

Extraordinary circumstances disrupted my Bangalore flight - can the airline really deny my claim?

The airline might decline to grant you compensation even if your flight was cancelled or delayed for longer than 3 hours. When a third party or unforeseen incident, as opposed to the airline, is to blame for the delay or cancellation, these situations, also known as extraordinary circumstances, are used to refuse passengers flight compensation.

Here are a few instances of extraordinary circumstances:

• Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

• A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

  However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

• Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

• Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

• A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

• An ill or unruly passenger.

• Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

About Bangalore

The capital of India's southern Karnataka state is Bengaluru (also known as Bangalore). Since it serves as the nation's top exporter of information technology (IT), the capital is occasionally referred to as the "Silicon Valley of India''. Additionally, Bangalore enjoys a pleasant climate all year round due to its high elevation and moderate tropical savannah environment, which has three seasons (summer, monsoon, and winter). This allows visitors to Bangalore to visit this beautiful city at any time of year.

Bangalore's primary international airport, Kempegowda International Airport, also provides domestic aircraft services. It is situated about 30 kilometres north of the city, close to the suburb of Devanahalli, and spans 4,000 acres. Bengaluru International Airport Limited, a public-private partnership, is its owner and operator.

Flying directly to Bangalore are American Airlines, Iberia, and British Airways. Among the other airlines that offer service to Bangalore are Qatar Airways, Thai Airways, and Ethiopian Airlines.
