How much compensation for a delayed Eurowings Luftverkehrs flight?
£220 each, if you land 3 hours or more late
Eurowings Luftverkehrs is better than most of the 80 airlines flying at UK airports for 3-hour delays.
Claim firms take a success fee, typically 20-30% plus VAT, and more again if the case has to go legal. On £220 that leaves you about £100 to £165. A claim firm only gets paid if it wins, so lose and you pay nothing.
We earn a fee if you claim through it.
What you're owed
Every Eurowings Luftverkehrs route we hold a distance for falls in the same band, so that is the figure. About 27 Eurowings Luftverkehrs flights a year cross that line.

From our own tracking
Recent Eurowings Luftverkehrs flights we logged running late
Every Eurowings Luftverkehrs arrival we logged running 3 or more hours late, or cancelled, at the airports we sweep since August. Newest first, and only flights UK or EU rules cover. A cancelled row carries no figure because what it pays turns on the notice you were given. The amount is what UK or EU rules pay that passenger, per person on the booking: usually the full rate for the distance, and half of it on the longest flights that landed between 3 and 4 hours late. Airlines can still dispute a claim by proving the cause was outside their control, so check yours to get the real answer.

How to claim
Claiming from Eurowings Luftverkehrs
Eurowings Luftverkehrs does not pay compensation automatically. Nothing happens until someone claims, and plenty of first claims come back refused when the airline blames something outside its control.
On codeshare flights, Eurowings directs compensation claims to whichever airline actually operated the flight, not necessarily the one you booked with.
The rules do not change with the airline. What decides your claim is where the flight took off and how late it landed, not whose aircraft it was.

Your rights
What the rules turn on
Where the flight departed decides everything, not the airline's nationality. Anything leaving a UK airport is covered by UK261 whoever operates it, and anything leaving the EU by EU261. A delay of 3 or more hours on arrival pays £220 each on the distances Eurowings Luftverkehrs flies, when the cause was within the airline's control, which covers technical faults, crew shortages and the knock-on from a late inbound aircraft. It pays nothing when the cause was genuinely extraordinary, though airlines stretch that word further than the case law supports, so a refusal on those grounds is worth testing rather than accepting.
