BA 242 Flight Delayed: Compensation

If your flight BA 242 Mexico City to London was delayed, you may be entitled to compensation for a flight delay, depending on the circumstances. Regulation EC 261/2004 is a European Union law that gives passengers the right to compensation for flight delay inconvenience and lost time.

The law does not provide compensation for minor delays less than 3 hours. So to be entitled to make a valid compensation claim, your flight BA 242 must arrive in London at least 3 hours late. The distance between Mexico City and London is the main determining factor for compensation calculation for your flight BA 242.
