Frequently asked questions about Eurowings claims

Is my Eurowings flight delayed by more than 3h eligible for compensation?

Yes, if the Eurowings flight is covered by Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 (departure from the EU, or arrival in the EU with Eurowings as the carrier) or by UK261, a delay of 3h or more on arrival entitles you to compensation of €250 to €600 depending on the distance, unless a proven extraordinary circumstance applies.

Can Eurowings refuse to pay compensation?

Eurowings may invoke an extraordinary circumstance (extreme weather, air traffic control strike, security risk) to refuse payment. For the claims entrusted to us, VolClaim checks whether this ground is genuinely justified before challenging the airline's response.

How does VolClaim contact Eurowings about my claim?

VolClaim submits your claim via the official delay compensation form on eurowings.com, never via a generic or guessed email address, which limits lost claims and speeds up processing.

How do I make a claim against Eurowings for a delayed or cancelled flight?

The simplest way is to entrust your claim to us from the start: VolClaim checks the eligibility of your Eurowings flight free of charge, prepares the claim with the relevant documents, files it through the airline's official channel and follows it up until payment. No upfront costs: 25% incl. VAT only if successful. If court action becomes necessary, our total fee is capped at 50% incl. VAT. It covers all procedural costs (court fees, lawyer, judicial officer), which we advance and bear. If the proceedings fail, you pay nothing. Procedural costs awarded against the airline (legal costs, Article 700 of the French Code of Civil Procedure) are retained by us.

Eurowings refund or compensation: what is the difference?

The refund corresponds to the price of the unused ticket: it is owed if the flight is cancelled, or if you give up travelling after a delay of 5 hours or more. Compensation is a fixed amount of €250 to €600 depending on the distance, owed in the event of a late cancellation, a delay of 3 hours or more on arrival or denied boarding, unless an extraordinary circumstance applies. In the event of a cancellation, the two can be combined. Read our refund or compensation guide.
