✈️ My flight was delayed or cancelled — who enforces my compensation?

Direct answer

Under EU 261 you are owed €250–€600 for a delay of 3+ hours at arrival, a cancellation with less than 14 days' notice, or denied boarding — unless the airline proves extraordinary circumstances. Claim from the airline first, in writing. If it refuses or ignores you for 6–8 weeks, Amt für Volkswirtschaft — Fluggastrechte (+423 236 68 71) is the national enforcement body in Liechtenstein; a complaint there is free. Schlichtungsstelle Konsumentenstreitigkeiten offers binding dispute resolution. Check your amount first with our flight tool.
