The short answer
Delayed at Isle of Man? What you can claim
If your flight from the Isle of Man landed 3 hours or more late, or was cancelled with less than 2 weeks' notice, you may be owed £220 each, but only on a UK or EU airline, such as Loganair or easyJet flying to the UK. The Isle of Man is a Crown Dependency, not part of the UK. Flights into it from the UK or EU are covered on any airline.
Which flights leaving the Isle of Man are covered?
Only those on a UK or EU airline, such as Loganair or easyJet flying to the UK. The Isle of Man is a Crown Dependency, so an airline from anywhere else is not covered on the way out. Check which airline actually flew your plane, which may differ from the one you booked with.
Is a flight from the UK or EU into the Isle of Man covered?
Yes, on any airline, because the flight leaves the UK or the EU. A flight arriving 3 hours or more late pays £220 each, as the Isle of Man is under 1,500 km from every UK airport.
What must the airline give me if my covered Isle of Man flight is late?
Food and drink once you have waited 2 hours, and a hotel with transfers if you are stuck overnight. This applies whatever caused the delay, weather included. Keep your receipts if you have to pay yourself. These rights apply only to the covered flights above.
