About American Airlines
What can I claim from American Airlines if my flight is delayed?
American Airlines is a company that operates thousands of flights a day, so it is not surprising that delays and cancellations of its flights occur. In the event that the flight is delayed for more than 2 hours, the company's ground staff must offer free food and drink tickets. Depending on the necessary waiting time, the user is entitled to two telephone calls, fax messages or e-mails.
In the event of a delay on your flight with American Airlines, a number of issues are very important. If you have arrived at your destination at least 3 hours later than planned, you can get up to 600 euros compensation per flight. If the flight delay is 2 hours, the user can make a claim for up to 250 euros.
If your American Airlines flight is delayed for more than 5 hours, in addition to assistance, you are entitled to a refund, within 7 days, of the full cost of the unused leg(s). It may also be the case that American Airlines must provide you with a return flight to the first point of departure if you have already made the first leg and miss the connecting flight.
If it is necessary to spend the night on the ground, American Airlines must provide accommodation, meals and travel to and from the airport from the place of accommodation. In addition, reimbursement and return flight.
What is the flight delay compensation for American Airlines?
Delay in American Airlines entitles the customer to compensation calculated according to the time of arrival at the destination. If you arrive at your destination 3 hours or more after the scheduled time, up to 600 euros can be claimed. If it is not more than 2 hours, then the amount is 250 euros. If it is more than 2 hours, but less than 3 hours, then the amount should be around 400 Euros.
The reasons why American Airlines can be exempted from this concept is if the delay is due to extraordinary circumstances, such as weather conditions. The amount to be received can also vary depending on the distance to the destination.
Up to 1500 km, the amount to be claimed will be 250 euros. Between 1501 and 3500 km, it will be 400 euros. If the distance exceeds 3500 km, then the amount to be claimed will increase to 600 euros.
What should American Airlines compensate for delays, cancellations or overbooking as indicated on its website?
In the event of a delay, cancellation or denied boarding by the air carrier American Airlines, compensation must be paid to the passenger in the latter two cases. The only exception is if the cancellation is due to extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided (political instability, weather conditions incompatible with the operation of the flight, safety risks, unexpected flight safety deficiencies, airport congestion, air traffic management and strikes affecting the air carrier's operations).
If the passenger is given between two weeks and seven days notice of the cancellation of the flight in advance of the scheduled departure time, and is offered re-routing that allows him or her to depart no more than two hours before the original departure time, then he or she cannot claim compensation for the cancellation. In addition, you must also ensure that American Airlines arrives at your final destination less than four hours later than the scheduled arrival time of the originally contracted flight.
If the passenger is given less than seven days' notice of the scheduled departure time and is not offered another flight that allows him/her to depart no more than one hour before the original departure time of his/her flight, then the American Airlines passenger may claim under similar conditions as for the delay. The criterion will be according to the length of the flight for a higher or lower amount: for flights of less than 1,500 km it will be EUR 250.
For intra-Community flights of more than 1,500 km the amount will rise to 400 euros and for the rest of the trips, between 1,500 and 3,500 km, as well as the rest of the flights not included in the previous points, the amount will rise to 600 euros. Compensation will be paid by bank transfer.
In the event that American Airlines is overbooked, then the airline has to pay compensation to the passenger.
It may happen that, for various reasons, the aircraft cannot operate with all passengers on board. In this 'overbooking' situation, according to the provisions of EC Regulation 261/04, American Airlines has to look for volunteers who can change the date or time of their flight in exchange for compensation and assistance. If not enough volunteers are found, passengers who cannot fly are entitled to compensation, assistance and reimbursement of the ticket or re-routing.
Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 is a common set of rules on compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding, flight cancellations or long flight delays.

When you, as the affected consumer, have made the claim, please note that you will be asked to provide all copies you can provide of the original receipts for items that have been damaged, delayed or lost. Damaged items and original receipts must therefore be retained until the claim has been completed, until the claim is finalised.
In no case will a replacement baggage receipt be accepted in lieu of the original receipt for baggage that has been damaged, damaged or lost.
American Airlines must arrange to send the baggage to the customer within 24 hours in case of loss. Under normal conditions, most baggage is located and delivered within 72 hours.
