Early arrival refund - Yes !

12 Posts

My KLM flight from Budapest was cancelled within 24 hours of departure. My rebooked flight resulted in arriving home six hours earlier, so we missed the last day of a five day trip KLM refunded me in a voucher (my choice) very quickly and £50 more than the ticket cost. So yes you can claim for early arrival too.

The former would be beyond their obligations so the latter would perhaps seem more likely?
This is the third time I have received a compensation payment but this was the first time for an early flight.
In other words, you're not being refunded because you arrived early as such (as implied by your thread title), but compensated because your original flight was cancelled and the replacement flight wasn't within the short window deemed to be an acceptable alternative.
