Brussels Airlines Flight Compensation Claims
As a passenger, you may be entitled to compensation if the following have occurred:
- Flight delay: If your flight arrived 3+ hours late at your final destination.
- Brussels Airlines Cancel Flight: if Brussels Airlines cancelled your flight and informed you less than 14 days before departure.

Brussels Airlines Flight Cancellations: When are they Liable?
When Brussels Airlines can escape liability: Brussels Airlines claims if a flight was cancelled due to events outside of its control; for example bad weather, or issues at the airport. Such events are typically called extraordinary circumstances and in such cases, you are not entitled to a Brussels Airlines missed flight refund.
All airlines will generally try to book you on the next available flight at no additional charge, in the case of cancelled flights. You may agree to the proposed flight or request another replacement flight, or demand reimbursement if you are not happy with any of the options proposed.
Note: If your rebooked scheduled departure arrives at a similar time to your original departure time, you're not entitled compensation. The law is fair and allows airlines not to pay compensation if you can reach your destination with minimum inconvenience. In most cases, passengers who have a cancelled flight will have valid claims for a Brussels Airlines flight compensation.
An airport employees’ strike is beyond anyone's control. Learn more about cancellation compensation.
When Brussels Airlines cannot escape liability: When Brussels Airlines cancel flights, EU 261 Regulation on air passenger rights are clear: You must be put on an alternative flight or provided with a full flight refund.
Also, if you were notified about the flight cancellation less than 14 days before your date of departure, you may be able to receive up to €600 per person in compensation. Additionally, you may receive Brussels Airlines flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.

Brussels Airlines Flight Refund policy
A flight compensation and a refund are two different things. Regulations allow you to receive both: a cancellation refund and compensation.
In case of a cancellation, an airline will try to re-book you on the similar flight, but if that becomes impossible, a cancellation refund will be a full cash refund. Generally, your claim would succeed, providing there were no extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.
If Brussels Airlines cancels your flight to extraordinary circumstances (such as Covid travel restrictions or a serious illness) and you were offered no replacement flight, you can obtain a ticket refund in full, since your flights booked were not available.
Types of ticket refunds: A full refund must be in cash or credit. Vouchers are allowed only if you specifically agree to it. We do not recommend accepting vouchers due to short expiry dates and potential restrictions on redemption.
Note: If Brussels Airlines offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time and you decide not to take it, there is a possibility of you losing the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund.
Rule of thumb: you can generally reject alternative flights and receive a refund in full, if a new replacement flight arrives 3+ hours later from your initial scheduled arrival time.

Brussels Airlines Flight Delay Compensation
While all airlines attempt to operate on time, sometimes delays happen. EU regulation 261 (EU 261) protects passengers in cases of flight delays.
According to EC 261, if your flight arrives later than 3 hours at your final destination, you may be eligible to file a Brussels Airlines delayed flight compensation claim form to receive up to €600 as a flight refund.
Exclusions: Brussels Airlines delayed flight compensation will not be enforceable in case of extraordinary circumstances. If the flight departure time is delayed because of bad weather or any airport related disruption, that is considered an extraordinary circumstance. Technical problems, airline staff strike, or operational problems are not valid reasons for rejected compensation claims.
Tip: accepting vouchers or signing release paperwork will result in losing the right to compensation.

Common questions: Compensation Claims and Refunds
What to do when your Brussels Airlines flight is cancelled?
Confirm the reason for a flight cancellation with the airline ticket desk. Also, collect receipts for any additional expenses for reimbursement later. Ask the airline to provide food and refreshments for a delay of 3 hours or more. If your replacement flight is departing the next day, the airline must provide hotel accommodation and transportation. Finally, use our free online compensation calculator to check if you are eligible for compensation and submit a Brussels Airlines refund for cancellation.
What if I cancel my Brussels Airlines flight? Can I get a refund?
If Brussels Airlines cancels the flight, they must refund the price of ticket to passengers. But if you decide to voluntarily cancel your scheduled flight, you are not entitled to a refund. Brussels Airlines cancellation policy is restrictive, unless you have a flexible fare, which allows you to reschedule your flight to a later date with minimal cost.
Note: regardless of ticket type, passengers have the right to request a refund amount for airport taxes and fees as part of a cancellation refund.
Do I also get my money back for the Brussels Airlines cancelled a flight due to Covid-19?
If Brussels Airlines cancelled a flight due to Covid-19, passengers are entitled to a reimbursement as part of flight cancellation rights. If Brussels Airlines attempts to reimburse your cancelled flight with a voucher, we do not recommend taking it. Instead, apply for a refund. If your refund claim is rejected, AirAdvisor can help enforce your claim through our external lawyers.
Can I Get a Brussels Airlines Refund?
In the event that you do not book a refundable, flexible fare and end up canceling your own flight, it is unlikely that you will be reimbursed. Conversely, if Brussels Airlines cancels your flight without any fault of yours then rest assured as it is obliged to provide a full refund.
How many hours for flight delay to be eligible for Brussels Airlines compensation?
Your Brussels Airlines flight delay of 3 hours or more at the airport of final destination (under the same booking) may make you eligible for compensation.

Brussels Airlines may take up to 2-3 months to process and reply to flight compensation claims, even though EU regulation 261 sets a period of one (1) month.

Boarding pass 0822XXXXX02 stefan roosen seat 16c. You will find a reservation as well in françoise vandonink. Seat 18c. This turned out to be a 5h+ delay so we would like to file for damages & compensation. Our prepaid train tickets have been forfaited as well because the plane arrived after any possible connection available. The late night ride home with cab company should be compensated as well. We l try to obtain an invoice trough travel agency. In venice we received a 4 euro voucher for a drink. With this kind of delay they should have provided at least unlimited acces to bottled water, which was not the case, as well as a meal. A mignonette chocolate on the flight does not cover this. No explicatory comments of hosts or hostesses about the delay, only the captain of the flight mentioning a 'traffic jam' (5 hours ??) Once settled after boarding we suffered another 35 a 40 min delay because of the lift window
