How long does it take to get a eu261 claim?

There is no set timeframe in which the airline must respond to you, but, in our experience, you should usually receive a response within 30 days, even if it is simply to say they are looking into the matter for you. If you don't receive a response, then you may wish to complain to the Civil Aviation Authority.
