UA 991 Flight Delayed: Compensation

If your flight UA 991 Barcelona to Washington 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 UA 991 must arrive in Washington at least 3 hours late. The distance between Barcelona and Washington is the main determining factor for compensation calculation for your flight UA 991.

Tip: Washington is not your final destination, the amount of compensation must be calculated based on the distance between Washington and your ultimate final destination if both flights are booked under the same reservation.

UA 991 Flight Compensation: Passenger Rights and What To Do

Flight UA 991 Cancelled: Claim a Refund

United Airlines is responsible to refund the price of flight ticket along with any additional out of pocket expenses incurred by the passenger as a result of flight UA 991 cancellation. If you had to rebook an alternative flight at your cost, United Airlines shall repay any such costs and pay for food and temporary hotel stay.

Make sure you properly track your expenses and keep all your receipts and let our professional team handle your complaint with United Airlines. Airlines take our complaints more seriously than those filed by air passengers who don’t have strong legal support.

Avoid accepting airline vouchers in lieu of a ticket refund, as vouchers typically have a lot of limitations and a short validity period without option of extension. Airlines try really hard to force passengers to accept vouchers, because United Airlines knows that the majority of passengers will never redeem vouchers, which will expire unused.
