Compensation standard for flight delay of 3 hours

Legal analysis: No compensation for flight delay of 3 hours.

Only the delay caused by the airline itself (such as aircraft failure) and the delay time is more than 4 hours will be compensated.

In China, non-carrier reasons (such as weather, flow control, air traffic control, passengers' own reasons, etc. ) generally do not compensate. If the flight is cancelled or is expected to be delayed for four hours or more due to the carrier's reasons, the general airline shall bear the cost of refund and change, and shall provide free catering services and rest places to passengers according to the delay time.

According to relevant regulations, aircraft delay compensation can be divided into two levels: delay of more than 4 hours and less than 8 hours and delay of more than 8 hours. The amount of compensation varies from 200 yuan to 450 yuan.

Legal basis: Guiding Opinions on Economic Compensation for Flight Delay

Article 1 There are two criteria for airlines to delay flights due to their own reasons. One is to delay the flight for more than 4 hours and less than 8 hours. The other is a delay of more than 8 hours. In both cases, airlines have to make economic compensation for passengers;

Article 2 The compensation methods may be cash, air ticket discount, mileage refund, etc.

Article 3 In case of flight delay, in order not to cause new delay, economic compensation is generally not made at the airport site, and airlines can use registration, letters, etc.

Article 4 The airport shall prevent passengers from taking "strike" or "seizing the plane" after the flight is delayed, which will affect the normal flight of subsequent flights.
