Am I entitled to compensation?

Options
Hi,

I was delayed by 3 hours and 10 minutes on a flight from Istanbul to Mahe in the Seychelles. Am I entitled to compensation and if so how would I go about claiming it?

    Did your flight depart or arrive in an eu airport? Nope so no you cant claim anything

    Hi,

    This forum deals mainly with delays to flights in or out of EU countries where European Law EU261/2004 applies & statutory compensation can be claimed under that law.

    Please re-post the above on the relevant airline's own thread - someone may know something about delays overseas but unless the state / country you were flying from / to have their own laws regarding flight delays you're probably going to get what the airline gives you & knowing what they're like that'll probably be right hand, middle finger.
