Can You Get Paid for a Flight Delay?

Yes, you might get compensated if your flight was significantly delayed and the airline was responsible. Regulations like EU261/UK261 require airlines to pay passengers for long delays, missed connections, or cancellations. Compensation is based on delay length and flight distance. However, extraordinary circumstances like weather or strikes may exempt the airline. Check with the airline or use a claims service to know if you qualify.
