Business Flights: Does the Compensation Go to Me or My Boss?

Your business paid for your flight, but you suffered the 8-hour delay. Who gets the €600 compensation? Learn why the money is yours.

Business Flights: Does the Compensation Go to Me or My Boss?

Your company's accountant bought the ticket, an 8-hour delay hits, and you lose the big sale. Does your boss get the €600 EC261 compensation?

No! The money is 100% Yours.

In all jurisprudence, the EU261 regulation was explicitly and intentionally written for "Passengers". Damages for flight compensation are inexorably linked to the individual human body that endured the tedious wait.

The punitive fine was designed to soothe the psychological stress and physical suffering of being stranded in a terminal. A corporation has no feelings and did not physically wait 8 hours.

Collateral Expenses

Your company CAN, however, claim a full ticket refund if the trip was entirely cancelled and abandoned. They can also claim hotel/dinner receipt reimbursements if they paid for them.

But the strict €250-€600 EC261 delay fine? That belongs exclusively to YOU.
