Remember THIS when you fly to Europe

Flight delays are probably the most common flight disruption that you will encounter. Under the rules of EU 261, you are entitled to the following for delays.
Right to care: If you have a flight delay that lasts more than 2 hours, then the airline must provide you with free food and drink, access to communication, and even overnight hotel accommodation if your departure has been delayed until the next day.
Right to cancel: If you choose to abandon your flight plans, then you are entitled to a refund and transport back to your original point of departure.
Right to reimbursement: If your flight disruption results in any out-of-pocket expenses, then you have a right to be reimbursed by the airline.
Right to cash compensation: If your flight was delayed by more than 3 hours and the airline is to blame for the disruption, then you are entitled to compensation.
Right to a refund: If your flight delay lasts 5 hours or longer, then you have the right to a full refund for the unused part of your ticket and a refund for the used parts of your ticket if they don’t serve a purpose in relation to your original travel plans.
You are also entitled to a free return flight to your original departure airport. Refunds must be given to you within 7 days of your flight.
