What you're owed
£220each if you land 3 hours or more late
Every route the CAA tracks between the UK and Luxembourg falls in the same distance band (1,500 km or less), so a delay of 3 hours or more pays a flat £220 each if the flight left the UK (€250 under EU261 if it left Luxembourg instead and the airline was a UK or EU carrier). Find your route below.
| Route | 3 hours or more pays |
|---|---|
| London City → Luxembourg | £220each |
| Heathrow → Luxembourg | £220each |
| Stansted → Luxembourg | £220each |
| Manchester → Luxembourg | £220each |
All 4 tracked UK ↔ Luxembourg routes, sorted by yearly flight volume. Figures are each; the EU version of the law pays €250 for the same band.
The figure is payable only when the delay was within the airline's control. A technical fault, a crew shortage or a late inbound aircraft all count; genuinely extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or an air traffic control restriction do not.
How bad is it
Do flights between the UK and Luxembourg get delayed a lot?
No, less than most. They're one of the 10 best of the 71 countries the UK flies to most, with 0.2% of flights landing 3 or more hours late.
That works out at about 11 flights a year crossing the 3-hour line, which is the point the airline has to pay.
Flying home rather than out?
Coming back from Luxembourg it's €250 rather than £220, because departures from there fall under the EU version of the rules.
When is it worst?
July 2025, when flights between the UK and Luxembourg ran an average of 25.5 minutes late.
See all the numbers for Luxembourg
In the last 12 months, 5,656 flights operated between the UK and Luxembourg: 72.4% ran within 15 minutes of schedule, and 0.2% were 3 or more hours late, roughly 11 flights' worth of eligible passengers in a year. The CAA's figures don't separate arrivals from departures, so this covers the corridor both ways.
Flights are landing on time less often than last year: 72.4% ran on time against 72.6% in the twelve months before, and the average delay rose from 13.5 to 14.3 minutes.

Your rights
Your rights on this corridor
Every flight leaving the UK for Luxembourg is covered by UK law, whichever airline operates it. Flights the other way, landing in the UK from Luxembourg, are covered too if a UK or EU airline operated them; a return flight on a non-UK, non-EU carrier falls outside it, though the Montreal Convention and Luxembourg's own rules may still give you a claim. See the full breakdown on the 3-hour rule. Cancelled instead of delayed? Broadly the same amounts apply under different conditions. See cancelled flight compensation.
