How to claim compensation for delay from Copa Airlines?
A delay, last minute cancellation of your flight with Copa Airlines, problems with your luggage, damage, loss or non-arrival? If your flight has been delayed for more than 3 hours with the airline, you are entitled to claim compensation between 250 and 600 euros with your flight claimant Reclamio. If your belongings have also suffered problems, let us know why you are entitled to claim compensation.
How to claim reimbursement of flight delay or cancellation costs from Copa Airlines?
The second step is in the "Claim expenses" option, also on the website. In the form to claim in case of delay or cancellation of your flight with Copa Airlines, you enter this section, which is next to "Additional information". Once there, you have to enter the following information:
In the box, within the Copa Airlines website, you will find "Your Question", which includes each of the answers you need for your claim. If data is missing, your claim will be delayed, as Copa Airlines will have to contact you to complete it.
So, the details are date of flight, flight number, the total value of the expense claim, your mailing address, the number of days, hours your flight was delayed, as well as the number of passengers for whom the relevant claim is being made.
The last step in your claim is to attach receipts. You will therefore need to provide a receipt for each item you claim to Copa Airlines. It is advisable to make sure you attach a digital, scanned or photographed copy of the receipts, using the "Attach documents" option on the website.
How much compensation from Copa Airlines am I entitled to for flight delays?
In the event of a delay on your flight with Copa Airlines, you have already seen the steps to follow to make a claim. However, the amount will vary depending on the time of arrival at the destination. First of all, it is not the same if you arrive hours late, days late, or if your flight is cancelled with less than 15 days notice.
If you arrive at your destination 3 or more hours later than the scheduled time, you are also entitled to claim financial compensation, except if the delay is due to extraordinary circumstances such as weather conditions. The amount you receive will vary depending on the distance to your destination. Thus, if the journey is up to 1500 km, the amount to be claimed is 250 euros. Between 1501 and 3500 km, the amount to be claimed is 400 euros. If the journey exceeds 3500 km, then the amount to be claimed is 600 euros.
If the flight is delayed for several days, then the airline has to bear several costs. A transfer to a hotel for the respective night(s) must be ensured, as well as finding you the place of descent. Of course, if the cancellation occurs while you are at the airport, provide you with tickets for food, drinks and refreshments.
What should Copa 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 Copa 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 Copa 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 Copa 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 Copa 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, Copa 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.
