Compensation by route

Distance sets the amount, and the statutes step at different distances — so Tel Aviv to Paris is worth €400 under EU261 but ₪2,450 under Israeli law, about 55% more for the same flight. Every row below is computed from the real great-circle distance. The bold figure is the one worth claiming.

How to read this

Where two statutes are listed, both reach the flight and you claim once, under whichever pays more — you do not collect both. Amounts are per passenger and assume the qualifying threshold is met: three hours late at arrival under EU261 and UK261, eight hours under the Israeli law, and for Canada an arrival nine or more hours late for a cause within the airline's control.

The US appears with no figure because it has none: American rules give refunds and denied-boarding compensation, but nothing for delay however long. The US page explains what you do get.

Distance is measured straight between the two airports, so a diversion or a longer routing does not move you into a higher band.
