Eurowings delayed or cancelled flight — what are my passenger rights?
When you fly with Eurowings, your rights are protected by the EU Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004, also called EU261. According to it, if your flight get delayed or cancelled, you might be entitled to flight compensation.
If you are flying to or from the UK, compensation and refund can also be claimed based on the 'The Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019’. It’s a British version of EU261, adopted after Brexit.
Check out the recently disrupted flight table below to see if your flight is there! If yes, then you might be eligible for flight compensation of €600 as both the British and EU regulations state! Is your flight not listed yet? You can still check your eligibility for compensation with our claim calculator.

Extraordinary circumstances — can Eurowings deny me compensation?
We call extraordinary circumstances situations in which the delay or cancellation is not the fault of the airline. If any of the below apply to your flight disruption, you might not be entitled to flight compensation.
- Bad weather conditions, such as heavy rain and thunderstorms.
- A strike, most often specifically caused by workers within the aviation industry (for example, baggage handlers).
However, a Eurowings strike caused by workers associated with the airline, such as pilots, is NOT considered an extraordinary circumstance! - Natural disasters, including wildfires and hurricanes.
- A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
However, you should be aware that airlines sometimes claim that extraordinary circumstances happened while it was actually not the case.
