Air Europa aims to ensure that all its air travel experiences include the broadest possible customer service commensurate with our best efforts. We have detailed our responsibilities and how we comply with them in the 12 key points known as our "Commitment to the customer".
N.B.: Air Europa's Commitment to the customer is valid for all international itineraries originating in the USA and includes:
1. OFFER THE LOWEST FARE AVAILABLE
On Air Europa.com, on our online booking system, at our ticket desks at airports and in city ticket offices, we will offer the lowest published rate in accordance with the requested date, flight and service class. If you so wish, and your travel plan is flexible, our representatives will identify more affordable alternative itineraries.
2. NOTIFY CUSTOMERS OF KNOWN DELAYS, CANCELLATIONS AND DEVIATIONS
3. HAND OVER BAGGAGE IN A TIMELY MANNER
Our aim is to return your baggage to you in a timely manner. However, if this does not happen, we will endeavour to return the misplaced baggage to you within 24 hours.

To check the progress of your baggage search, call 911 360 190 (from Spain) or +34 911 360 190 (from abroad) or contact lost baggage. We will try to contact customers for any unclaimed baggage if a name and address or telephone number is available.

If you meet the established conditions for the refund of your flights, we invite you to contact your point of sale directly to proceed with the refund process.

In accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation regulations, Air Europa has established the following contingency plan to mitigate hardships for passengers during lengthy tarmac delays at U.S. airports. A tarmac delay is defined as the period of time when an aircraft is on the ground with passengers and the passengers have no opportunity to deplane.
For international flights arriving at a U.S. airport, Air Europa will not permit a tarmac delay to exceed four hours without providing passengers an opportunity to deplane. For international flights departing from a U.S. airport, Air Europa will not permit a tarmac delay to exceed four hours before the aircraft begins to return to a gate or other suitable disembarkation point to provide passengers an opportunity to deplane. In all cases the following exceptions apply:
A. the pilot-in-command determines there is a safety-related or security-related reason why the aircraft cannot leave its position on the tarmac to deplane passengers; or,
B. air traffic control advises the pilot-in-command that proceeding to or returning to a gate or other suitable disembarkation point to deplane passengers would significantly disrupt airport operations.
Whenever a flight experiences a tarmac delay at a U.S. airport:
Air Europa has sufficient resources to implement this tarmac delay contingency plan. Air Europa has coordinated this plan with airport authorities, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for all U.S. airports we serve including our designated diversion airports.

Air Europa has an online flight change system for you to use.
