The fine print operating at SFO: Your actual rights
✓ When does the airline pay?
- • Arrival delays: Landed at your destination 3 or more hours after official time (time at SFO airport is counted from when the aircraft doors open).
- • Sudden cancellations: You were notified that your flight from or to San Francisco was not operating with less than 14 days' notice.
- • Overbooking: You arrived at your boarding gate at San Francisco International Airport and were denied access to the plane because they overbooked.
🇪🇺 Which routes are protected?
European law EC 261/2004 is definitive. It covers you absolutely always if your flight was taking off from San Francisco International Airport,
regardless of whether the airline is foreign or
low-cost.
It also protects you if you were landing at SFO coming from outside the EU, but in that scenario, your airline
needs to have a European or British base (e.g., Iberia, British
Airways).
The airline's wildcard: Watch out when you hear "extraordinary circumstances" due to bad weather or air strikes. They often use this excuse illicitly to avoid paying you. Our legal processes review these metrics in detail to strike down false excuses.
A robust process in 3 steps
You don't have to face the airline's legal team alone at the airport counter. We do it for you.
Analyze your flight
We use our historical database with real air traffic control logs from SFO to validate if a compensable delay existed without real weather excuses.
They go to court
We refer your case to specialized pan-European law firms (like AirHelp). They will send formal notices and, if the airline ignores the request, they assume the litigation costs for you.
Collect your money
The money arrives in your bank account. All these steps are success-based under the model "If we don't win your case, you pay us nothing." You have €0 risk.
