SpiceJet 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.
- SpiceJet Cancel Flight: if SpiceJet cancelled your flight and informed you less than 14 days before departure.
- Overbooking: If you have been denied boarding due to overbooking.

SpiceJet Flight Cancellations: When are they Liable?
When SpiceJet can escape liability: SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet flight compensation.
An airport employees’ strike is beyond anyone's control. Learn more about cancellation compensation.
When SpiceJet cannot escape liability: When SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.

SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet 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.

SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet delayed flight compensation claim form to receive up to €600 as a flight refund.
Exclusions: SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet refund for cancellation.
What if I cancel my SpiceJet flight? Can I get a refund?
If SpiceJet 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. SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet cancelled a flight due to Covid-19?
If SpiceJet cancelled a flight due to Covid-19, passengers are entitled to a reimbursement as part of flight cancellation rights. If SpiceJet 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 SpiceJet Refund?
If you were to cancel your flight independently, yet booked an inflexible, non-refundable fare, then you may not be able to receive a reimbursement. However, if SpiceJet cancelled your journey for causes beyond your control - such as bad weather or another issue regarding their operations – EU law provides you with right to receive a refund of the ticket value unused.
How many hours for flight delay to be eligible for SpiceJet compensation?
If your flight is delayed by 3 hours or more at the final destination airport, you may be able to claim compensation. The calculation of delay and compensation can be complex and may depend on factors such as the length of delay and flight distance. AirAdvisor website will allow you to check if your SpiceJet flight is eligible for compensation.
How long does it take to get SpiceJet flight delay compensation?
According to EU Regulation EC 261 compensation must be paid within a month of the delayed flight. However, it is not uncommon for airlines such as SpiceJet to take much longer to process, sometimes taking 2-3 months. It is possible that SpiceJet may attempt to prolong or overlook requests for compensation expecting that many travellers will not do anything to enforce passenger rights.

We bought 2 tickets Male-Thiruvananthapuram in December 2019 for 19 February 2020. We got confirmation email from Bravofly number: 1554131XXX0 with information that one day before we should make Online Check-In. As they say, on 18 of February I wanted to make Check-in and I got answer from the company SpiceJet that it is not possible online but at airport. We arrived at airport and there is no flight. The staff at airport say the SpiceJet not fly almost 1 month from the airport in Male . So, we were not at all informed by Bravofly about the cancelation of the flights and they did not send no one mail for this subject and they have my email because they already sent me confirmation when I bought the tickets. Now we are at airport and do not know what to do. We try to contact them on phone but nobody answer and we can not find any email from them. We do not know how to contact them? Terrible experience
