Understanding your rights

Because Neos is an Italian airline, you can get compensated for flight disruptions if you were on a flight operating inside the EU. Your rights are protected by EU 261 - a law designed by the European Commission to protect passengers departing from European airports.

Here’s how you’re protected under EU 261

Airlines are required to compensate you up to €600 per passenger regardless of your ticket price
Flight disruptions up to 3 years old can still be eligible for compensation.
You’re entitled to compensation for flight delays in excess of 3 hours
You have the right to a full refund if you’ve had a delay lasting more than 5 hours
You have a right to reimbursement for any expenses that you had to make as a result of the delay
You’re entitled to compensation for flight cancellations announced less than 14 days prior to your departure.
Airlines are required to supply food, drink, and hotel accommodation to passengers free of charge if the delays are longer than 2 hours for flights shorter than 1,500 km and at least 3 hours for other flights.
You’re entitled to compensation for denied boarding due to overbooking.
If you missed a connecting flight because of a delay, and you arrived at your destination more than 3 hours late, then you are also entitled to compensation from the airline.

What to do if your Neos flight is canceled or delayed

First and foremost, stay calm and ask a Neos agent to help you get on another flight. If you’ve tried this then:

Ask why the flight has been canceled or delayed
Record this information somewhere so you can find it later
Take photos of the information boards
Keep all your receipts for essential purchases including your booking number and vouchers
Ask for essentials like food and drink

While you wait, you can also check to see if your flight is eligible for compensation.Check compensation

Neos Air delayed flight compensation

How do you know if you’re eligible for delayed flight compensation?

If you arrived in excess of 3 hours late to your destination, then you may be eligible for compensation. Start by asking Neos what caused the delay. If it was due to extraordinary circumstances like dangerous weather, political unrest, etc. then Neos will not be required to compensate you.

But no matter what caused the delay, Neos must still provide you with food, drink, and/or hotel stay.

Also, be careful if you’re offered vouchers. Always read the fine print and ask questions before you accept one because the time frame for you to use the voucher can be very short. It’s also important to note that if you accept a voucher or sign any release paperwork you will no longer be eligible for compensation.

How do I know if I’m eligible for Neos Air cancellation compensation?

You’re eligible for compensation if your flight was canceled fewer than 14 days before your date of departure and if the cancellation was caused by something within the airline’s control.

So, if Neos Air gives you more than 14 days advance notice that your flight is canceled, then you won’t be eligible for compensation. In this situation however, Neos must provide you with an alternative flight or give you a refund if you choose not to take the trip.

If the seats on your replacement flight are upgraded, then you should not be asked to pay anything extra. At the same time, if your seats were downgraded on the replacement flight, then Neos has to pay you for the price difference.

Note: If Neos offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time as your original flight, and you decide not to take it, there is a chance that you could lose the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund.

In most cases, you can reject alternative flight offerings and still receive a refund in full if the replacement flight arrives 3 or more hours later than your initial scheduled arrival time.

What conditions have to met to get Neos Air flight compensation

Whether you have a cancellation or a delay, the following conditions must be met for you to be eligible for Neos compensation.

Your flight must be flying within the EU.
The flight disruption caused Neos Air and not caused by conditions outside the airline’s control.
You must have documents that support your booking and the disruption
You must have completed check-in at the appropriate time
You must submit your flight disruption claim within the deadline

What makes a flight cancellation ineligible for a refund

A flight cancellation will be ineligible for a refund if it was caused by extraordinary circumstances including the following.

Weather conditions
Airport-related disruptions like an airport strike
Technical issues with the aircraft
Political unrest
Natural disasters
Operational problems

PRO TIP: An airline strike is treated differently from an airport strike. If Neos workers go on strike, you could still be eligible for compensation.

What is the time limit to make compensation claims

You have up to six years to contact Neos Air and collect your compensation and ticket refunds.
