Envoy Air flight compensation (2026)
Laws current as of July 2026.
US law sets no delay-payout, but an involuntary bump pays cash up to $2,150 (14 CFR Part 250) and a cancelled flight you decline owes an automatic cash refund (14 CFR Part 260). If your Envoy Air flight qualifies, you can prepare and send the claim yourself and keep 100% of the payout — no commission to a claims company.
If your Envoy Air flight was delayed 3+ hours, cancelled, or overbooked, you may be legally owed cash compensation under US DOT refund & denied-boarding rules. Here is what the law says, and how to claim it yourself without giving 35% to a claims company.
How much is a Envoy Air claim worth?
| Situation | What US law owes you |
|---|---|
| Involuntary denied boarding — short delay | up to $1,075 (200% of fare, in cash) |
| Involuntary denied boarding — long delay | up to $2,150 (400% of fare, in cash) |
| Cancelled or significantly changed flight you decline | Automatic full cash refund — not a voucher |
US law has no fixed delay-compensation statute. Denied-boarding compensation is 14 CFR Part 250; the automatic refund rule is 14 CFR Part 260.
Primary source: 14 CFR Part 250 (eCFR).
The airline will say "extraordinary circumstances"
That is a defence the airline must PROVE, and it bears the burden. Technical faults, the airline's own staff strikes, and knock-on delays generally do NOT count. Make them show contemporaneous evidence.
How far back can I claim?
US: no federal (DOT) limitation; contract-of-carriage claims vary by state, typically 2–6 years.
