When the £520 tier applies

Gatwick to Lagos is longer than 3,500 kilometres. Under UK261, an eligible passenger who arrives at least three hours late can fall within the £520 long-haul tier. The sum is fixed compensation rather than repayment of the fare, and it is assessed per passenger.

Compensation is not automatic. Air Peace can resist the fixed payment if it proves extraordinary circumstances and that the disruption could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken. The precise operational reason therefore matters.

Care and expenses while waiting

For a long-haul departure delay, care rights normally begin after four hours. The airline should provide reasonable meals and refreshments, communication, and hotel accommodation plus transport where an overnight stay becomes necessary. If support is not provided, keep itemised receipts for reasonable expenditure.

A delay of five hours or more also gives a passenger the option not to travel and to request reimbursement, but taking that option is different from completing the journey and claiming arrival-delay compensation.

Air Peace claim questions

Does nationality affect Air Peace compensation?

No. Route, operating carrier, disruption and arrival delay matter; passenger nationality does not determine UK261 coverage.

Do I need the flight number to start?

No. Airline, route and date are enough to begin. A flight number from the booking can strengthen verification.

Is compensation guaranteed?

No. Scope, delay length, notice, cause and evidence must all be checked.

What does MeClaims charge?

There is no upfront payment. A success fee applies only if compensation is recovered.
