Most passengers don’t know this €600 flight compensation rule

I recently wrote a short guide explaining one of the most overlooked passenger rights in Europe.

Under EU regulation 261/2004, passengers may be entitled to up to €600 compensation when a flight arrives more than 3 hours late depending on the distance.

The surprising part is that most travelers never claim anything simply because they don’t know the rule exists.

While working on Fly-Claim, I realized how confusing airline compensation rules can be for passengers, especially when airlines reject claims citing “extraordinary circumstances”.

So I wrote a simple breakdown explaining:

• when airlines must pay compensation
• when they don’t have to
• why many claims are rejected
• how passengers can verify if they’re eligible

If you're building anything in travel, legal tech, or consumer rights, I'd also be curious to hear how you think these kinds of regulations affect startups in the space.
