Traveling with British Airways – What are my rights?
Does the Air Passenger Duty Regulation apply in the UK?
British Airways is not an EU airline (as it is based in the UK), and your entitlement to flight compensation under Regulation (EC) 261/2004 depends on whether the delay was from an airport within or outside Europe. Regulation (EC) 261/2004 depends on whether the delay is from an airport inside or outside Europe.
The rules are best explained by example:
If you are delayed on your return flight with British Airways from London (which is in a non-EU country), you are not covered by Regulation (EC) 261/2004, and therefore you are not entitled to flight compensation from British Airways under these rules.
Conversely, if you are delayed on your outbound flight from Billund (located in an EU country) to London, you are covered by Regulation (EC) 261/2004, and are therefore entitled to flight compensation from British Airways according to this set of rules.
If you travel from Billund to London with e.g. SAS, you are covered by Regulation (EC) 261/2004 on both outbound and return flights, as SAS is an EU airline.
“UK 261”
When the UK left the European Union in 2020, many feared that they would lose their rights in case of flight delays, cancellations and overbooking.
The truth is, however, not much has changed – at least not for Brits.
The UK government has implemented the majority of Regulation (EC) 261/2004 into UK law through the “Air Passenger Rights and Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing (Amendment) (EU Exit). Regulations 2019”, which brings what is effectively “UK261” into force.
Admittedly, a small number of changes have been made to the wording of Regulation (EC) 261/2004 as it applies in the UK to ensure that it operates effectively despite the UK no longer being an EU Member State.
Furthermore, the compensation amounts are stated in British Pounds (“GBP”), with the 250 Euro becoming 220 GBP, the 400 Euro becoming 350 GBP and the 600 Euro becoming 520 GBP.
