AirwayControlFlight delay compensation
Flight delay compensation in the Philippines
The Philippines' Air Passenger Bill of Rights covers a long delay that is the airline's fault: from four hours, you may be owed the value of the delayed sector. Care is owed from two hours, whatever the cause. Here is what the rules say and a claim you can send today.
General information, not legal advice. Not a promise of payment.
What the Philippine rules say
- Compensation
- 4+ h and the airline's fault: you may be owed the value of the delayed sector.
- While you wait
- From 2 h: meals, calls and internet — whatever the cause.
- Refund or rebooking
- From 4 h (airline's fault): treat it as cancelled and take a refund or rebooking.
- When nothing is owed
- Force majeure still owes you care — but then the hotel is yours to pay.
These are the lines AirwayControl shows for a route under these rules, word for word.
Which flights are covered
- Flying a Philippine airline, or departing the Philippines.
Where to send a claim
The claim goes to the airline that operated the flight, through its own website or the address it publishes for complaints. Write to the airline first; an authority comes after.
