Arrival delay: Meaning for Flight Refunds and Claims

Time between the scheduled and actual arrival at the relevant destination. The legal meaning of arrival can differ from landing time.

Why it matters

If a rule uses arrival delay, compare the scheduled time with the legally relevant actual arrival, not just touchdown.

Compare the applicable rule with your ticket and the airline’s written notice. You can also browse other flight-claim terms.

This definition is a starting point. The rule and ticket terms for your flight still matter.
