Did you ensure you had the correct documentation?

Before you board the plane, airlines must check that you have the necessary documents for your destination. If you do not, they are entitled to deny boarding and do not have to pay compensation.

Examples of documents you may need to show:

1. Valid passport or other accepted ID
2. Valid visa
3. Proof of return ticket
4. Negative Covid-19 test result
5. Passenger locator form

Since you arrived at your destination with a delay of less than 3 hours, unfortunately, you are not eligible for compensation.

Since the airline notified you of the flight cancellation 14 days before departure, unfortunately, you are not eligible for compensation.

Fill out only if the airline did not reimburse these expenses and you have documents proving payment:
