What you're owed

£220 or £350each if you land 3 hours or more late

Slovenia isn't one distance from the UK, so what a 3-hour-plus delay pays depends on the route. Find your route below, or check your flight for an exact answer.

Route 3 hours or more pays
Gatwick → Ljubljana £220each
Heathrow → Ljubljana £220each
Manchester → Ljubljana £220each
Edinburgh → Ljubljana £350each

All 4 tracked UK ↔ Slovenia routes, sorted by yearly flight volume. Figures are each; the EU version of the law pays €250 or €400 for the same two bands.

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 Slovenia get delayed a lot?

No, less than most. They're better than most of the 71 countries the UK flies to most, with 0.3% of flights landing 3 or more hours late.

That works out at about 4 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 Slovenia it's €250 or €400 rather than £220 or £350, because departures from there fall under the EU version of the rules.

When is it worst?

June 2026, when flights between the UK and Slovenia ran an average of 26.1 minutes late.

See all the numbers for Slovenia

In the last 12 months, 1,225 flights operated between the UK and Slovenia: 73.1% ran within 15 minutes of schedule, and 0.3% were 3 or more hours late, roughly 4 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 more often than last year: 73.1% ran on time against 65.7% in the twelve months before, and the average delay fell from 21.9 to 14.8 minutes.

Your rights

Your rights on this corridor

Every flight leaving the UK for Slovenia is covered by UK law, whichever airline operates it. Flights the other way, landing in the UK from Slovenia, 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 Slovenia'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.
