Flight compensation
Your flight was delayed. You could be owed up to €600.
If your flight was delayed 3+ hours, cancelled, or overbooked — on a recent trip or any flight in the last 3 years — EU/UK law (EC261) may entitle you to up to €600 per passenger. Checking takes two minutes and costs nothing.
No win, no fee · Works for past flights · Up to €600 per passenger
Could you be owed money?
If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth a free check:
- Your flight was delayed 3 hours or more on arrival
- It was cancelled with less than 14 days’ notice
- You were denied boarding because the flight was overbooked
- It departed from an EU/UK airport — or arrived in the EU/UK on an EU/UK airline
- It happened in the last 3 years (up to 6 years in some countries)
- The disruption was the airline’s fault (not genuinely extraordinary weather)
How much could you claim?
The amount depends on your flight distance and how long you were delayed:
€250
Short-haul
Flights up to 1,500 km
€400
Medium-haul
Flights 1,500–3,500 km
€600
Long-haul
Flights over 3,500 km
Figures are the EC261 statutory maximums per passenger. Your exact entitlement is confirmed when you check your specific flight.

If the claim succeeds, the compensation is paid to you. They only keep a success fee if you win — so there’s no risk in checking.

Check my flight nowFrequently asked questions
How far back can I claim?
In most European countries you can claim for flights from the last 3 years. Some go further — the UK allows up to 6 years. So it’s worth checking even old flights you’d forgotten about.
Does it cost anything to check?
No. Checking your eligibility is completely free. You only pay a success fee if the claim wins and you actually receive compensation — no win, no fee.
My airline already refused — can I still claim?
Yes. Airlines routinely reject valid claims hoping passengers give up. A specialist can escalate the claim legally, which is exactly when professional help pays off.
Do weather or strike delays count?
Truly “extraordinary” weather usually doesn’t qualify — but many delays blamed on technical faults, crew issues, or certain strikes do. The only way to know is to check; it’s free.
Which flights are covered?
Any flight departing an EU or UK airport, and any flight arriving in the EU/UK operated by an EU/UK airline. That covers a huge share of international travel.
