History, not a price to book: the average of every fare sold to the public in each month (the month of sale, not of travel), seat by seat, one way and before airport fees. Miles and corporate fares are not included.

Delay compensation (EU261 / UK261)

Measured by great-circle distance: 1,859 km.

Neither EU261 nor UK261 covers this route: it neither starts nor ends in the EU, EEA, Switzerland or the UK. Other countries have their own rules (for example Canada's APPR or Brazil's ANAC rules).

Also owed for a cancellation with less than 14 days' notice or denied boarding. Not owed for extraordinary circumstances. On a connection, the distance to the final destination counts. From 23 October 2027 the EU's Regulation 2026/2202 applies; it keeps these amounts (what changes in 2027). Information, not legal advice.
