What are my rights regarding compensation for a Korean Air flight?

Because Korean Air is a non-EU airline, British and European regulations protect your right to flight compensation only in specific circumstances.

Flight compensation is applicable only if your Korean Air flight departed from the United Kingdom or an EU country.

Unfortunately, when flying to the UK/EU on an airline headquartered outside of the UK/EU, your passengers' rights are not protected by relevant UK/EU legislation.

See table below for more information.

Get compensation for a delayed Korean Air flight

If your Korean Air flight was delayed by more than 3 hours, you may be eligible for flight compensation. Compensation, however, is only available if the airline is the party at fault for the delay. For more information on this issue, see the "Extraordinary Circumstances" section of this page.

Use our no-obligation Claim Calculator to see if you are eligible for Korean Air compensation. If you are eligible, our team will handle the entire claim process for you. We will even go to court to protect your rights and recover your money! No win, no fee.

Refund and compensation policies for cancelled Korean Air flights

Depending on the exact circumstances surrounding the cancellation of your Korean Air flight, you may be entitled to compensation, a ticket refund, or both!

 

When can I submit a flight compensation claim for my cancelled Korean Air flight?

You can claim compensation for a Korean Air flight if it was cancelled less than 14 days before the original departure date*, according to British and European flight compensation regulations.

Korean Air must be the party responsible for the cancellation; for more information on when the airline can refuse compensation, see the section of this article titled "Extraordinary Circumstances."

*The right to compensation for Korean Air flights applies only to flights departing from the United Kingdom/Europe.

 

When can I get a refund for my cancelled Korean Air flight?

If your Korean Air flight from the UK/EU was cancelled, you may be eligible for a ticket refund if one of the following conditions is met:

  • The airline did not offer you an alternative flight.

         or

  • You were offered an alternate flight but declined it.

How much compensation can I expect from Korean Air if my flight was delayed or cancelled?

The amount of flight compensation is calculated based on the distance of your flight:
 

  • For flights shorter than 1,500 km, the compensation is £220.

  • For flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km, the compensation is £350.

  • For flights of over 1,500 kilometres within the EU, the compensation is also £350.

  • For flights of over 3,500 kilometres outside of the EU, the compensation is £520 —but if your flight was delayed by fewer than 4 hours, the total amount might be reduced by 50%.

What are the extraordinary circumstances? When can Korean Air refuse to compensate me?

Even if your flight was delayed by more than 3 hours or cancelled at the last minute, Korean Air reserves the right to deny compensation if the disruption was caused by a third party or a force majeure. Such situations are referred to as extraordinary circumstances.

Some of the most common extraordinary circumstances are as follows:
 

  • 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.

 

Airlines frequently claim that an extraordinary circumstance occurred, even when this was not the case! They do this in order to avoid having to pay compensation.

How long do I have to claim my Korean Air compensation and refund?

Three different laws determine the time limit for submitting a claim:

  • The law in the country of departure

  • The law in the country of arrival

  • The law in the country where the airline is headquartered

If your flight originated in the United Kingdom, you have 6 years to submit a claim for flight compensation or a refund.

When flying from another country, different time limits may apply: if you were on a Korean Air flight from Amsterdam to Seoul that was delayed by 4 hours, you will be able to file a claim under Dutch law, which states that you have 2 years to claim flight compensation.
