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:

  1. Ask why the flight has been canceled or delayed
  2. Record this information somewhere so you can find it later
  3. Take photos of the information boards
  4. Keep all your receipts for essential purchases including your booking number and vouchers
  5. 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.

Neos Air flight delay 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.

  1. Your flight must be flying within the EU.
  2. The flight disruption caused Neos Air and not caused by conditions outside the airline’s control.
  3. You must have documents that support your booking and the disruption
  4. You must have completed check-in at the appropriate time
  5. 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.

Jason from Canada (Neos NO 425 Flight delay)
November 13, 2024, 4:46 pm

Once we got to the airport after driving 2 hours, they told us our flight was delayed 36 hours. We could wait or receive a refund, we asked for the refund and have still not received. We booked a flight with another airline so we could still make our destination. But with the added cost of new flight on top of the first flight we couldn't afford to have the trip we planned. The tight budget and stress effected everything and my wife and got physically from the worry. We couldn't do what we had planned


Oded Hertzel from Israel (Neos NO 3234 Flight cancellation)
October 8, 2024, 9:33 pm

We arrived at the airport (MXP) at 14:30 local time (3 hours before flight). The check-in wasn't open. An hour later we were told that the flight was cancelled. We were not given any explanation. No alternative flight was offered. No other offers or compensation were given. Later we learned that the EU advised against travelling to Israel, due to security reasons. We worked very hard on finding a flight that would take us back home, as our children were alone and it was almost high-holidays time in Israel. It was, of course, very stressful for us. The flight we found cost us an additional 1000 Euros. It should be mentioned that: 1. The security issue in Israel has been going on for a year now. There was nothing special on the 28th of September. 2. TLV airport in Israel was working regularly before, during and after the 28th of September. 3 Other carriers - ELAL and foreign - continued to fly to Israel. To conclude, the cancellation of the flight was not necessary both in real time and in hindsight. No explanation was given and no compensation or help of any sort were offered. Neos failed to give even the very minimum that is expected from an air carrier.


Alson from United States (USA) (Neos NO 787 Flight delay)
September 4, 2024, 8:47 pm

We arrived at 06.16 PM. 3 hours 39 minutes late. They said only there is a delay on the flight. That's it. No care was provided. We were with to babies almost 2 and almost 4 years old, sleeping in the airport chairs and waiting for the flight to depart. We came at the same day from Albania with another flight and another company, separate ticket from the one that we are claiming. There was a very long day and very bad experience since we were with to kids. I run a business in construction industry, here in New York City. To be on time matters to me and to the performance of the company.
