EC261 on AI
Hi,
I recently flew LHR-DEL on AI, and the flight was 3h45 delayed on arrival at the gate "due to late arrival of inbound aircraft". So, doesn't qualify for the "big" compensation (€600 for a 4 hour delay).
Two part question:
Martin

Two part question:
- I've seen a number of references that a 3-4 hour delay qualifies for a €300 compensation (I'd link, but first post...), but I can't find a reference to this being the case in any official documentation, including the UK CAA's website and crucially, the regulation itself. Does anyone know where this rule is actually defined? I'd like to make sure I've done my homework before filing a claim.
- Does anyone have any experience actually claiming EC261 compensation from AI?

You’re entitled to €300. https://www.caa.co.uk/Passengers/Res...-compensation/
Claiming from AI is another matter. Fill up the form - Feedback - Air India and hope for the best.

AI does pay up, in this case after 9 months: https://economictimes.indiatimes.com...w/72360220.cms
