If your United Airlines flight was delayed, canceled, or disrupted in the past three years, you could be entitled to compensation under EU Regulation EC 261. Although United Airlines is a U.S.-based airline, flights departing from the EU fall under European passenger rights laws. With FlyNero, you can quickly claim your United Airlines flight delay or cancellation compensation.
About United Airlines
United Airlines is a major U.S. airline with a global network of 350 destinations, supported by seven major hubs and strategic partnerships. While not a European carrier, flights departing from EU airports operated by United Airlines must still comply with EC 261.
United Airlines Flight Delay Compensation
You may be entitled to compensation if:
- Delay exceeds 3 hours: Arrival time is the key factor, not departure.
- Flight departs from the EU: EC 261 applies only to flights departing from the EU or operated by EU airlines.
- No extraordinary circumstances: Weather disruptions, political unrest, or security issues may exempt the airline.
- No suitable alternative flight was provided: If you weren’t rebooked on a flight arriving with minimal delay, you may qualify.
United Airlines Flight Cancellation Compensation
You may be eligible if:
- You were notified less than 14 days before departure.
- Your flight originated in the EU.
- Cancellation wasn’t caused by extraordinary circumstances.
- You weren’t offered a timely alternative flight.
United Airlines Denied Boarding Compensation
You could receive up to €600 if you were involuntarily denied boarding, provided that:
- You checked in on time.
- You had a confirmed reservation.
- You met all security and travel requirements.
United Airlines Lost, Damaged, or Delayed Baggage Compensation
Compensation may be available under the Montreal Convention:
- Lost baggage: Declared lost after 21 days.
- Damaged baggage: Must be reported immediately at the airport and claimed within 7 days.
- Delayed baggage: Essential expenses may be reimbursed.
Typical limits apply up to 1,288 SDRs (approx. €1,500).
When Compensation Is Not Due

- The delay is under 3 hours.
- The flight was canceled more than 14 days in advance.
- Disruption was due to extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.
