Finnair Flight Delay Compensation


ELIGIBILITY:

all passengers (includes infants)

Every time a flight operated by Finnair reaches its destination 3 or more hours late, and the delay is due to the Finnair’s fault, not something unavoidable, you may be entitled to EU flight delay compensation. You can get up to 600 euro from the airline. For example, technical problems mostly are considered airline’s fault (you can get compensation).
