• Delayed flights that cause you to arrive 3 or more hours late at your destination.
• Cancelled flights if you were given less than 14-days notice.
• Denied boarding caused by oversold flights

Why Some Complaints Result in Payouts

Passengers on Croatia Airlines flights are protected by Regulation EU261. This means that if you have a delay, cancellation, or other flight disturbance that causes you to be 3 or more hours late at your destination, Croatia Airlines must compensate you if they are at fault. In fact, could get between €250-€600, depending on the flight distance.

You can also get as much as €1,599 money back from the carrier if your luggage was delayed, damaged, or lost, but always report your problem immediately.

How to Get the Result You Want

Simply submitting a complaint will not lead to a payout. In order for this to happen, you will need to provide as many details about your experience as possible including flight numbers, photos, receipts, screenshots, and anything that can support your claim.

You should ideally submit the complaint to Croatia Airlines as soon as you can to avoid missing details. Also, there are usually time limits for submissions. 

Include accurate contact information, and make sure the details match what you used to book your flight. You’d be surprised how many passengers don’t give accurate emails and phone numbers, and you don’t want to give Croatia Airlines an excuse not to get in touch.

Another way to improve your chances of a successful result is to clearly and kindly tell them what you hope to get to make the situation right. Basically, what will fix the problem? Tell them what you want and why.
