Tell ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Copilot your flight number. Your AI agent checks it, claims from the airline and chases until you are paid.
Example only. Not a real flight or claim.
Ask your assistant about a late flight. The agent reads your booking, checks the delay at arrival, works out what UK261 or EU261 pays and prepares the claim.
No forms to chase. The same agent follows the airline up and appeals if the answer is no.
Flight number and date in. Delay, distance and airline fault checked against UK261 or EU261.
You review the claim and approve it. Only then is it sent to the airline in your name.
Airline pays out, or your agent chases, appeals the refusal and escalates to the airline's ADR body.
Delay compensation for flights is a fixed amount per passenger. Arrive three hours or more late on a UK flight and the airline may owe you, set by the distance of your flight. EU261 (also written EC261) pays €250, €400 or €600 on the same bands.
Three hours at arrivalThe delay is counted when the aircraft doors open, not when it took off.
Per passengerA family of four on one booking can claim four times.
Up to six yearsClaims for England and Wales can reach back six years. Check the date of your flight.
Flight compensation covers more than late arrivals. Here is what each type pays and what it does not.
Pick the distance and how late you landed. The answer uses the UK261 and EU261 amounts.
Cancelled flight compensation pays the same fixed amounts as a long delay, on top of your refund or replacement flight. You can claim flight cancellation compensation on UK and EU flights, and on UK or EU airlines arriving in them.
Cancelled with under 14 days noticeThe airline owes compensation unless it offered a close replacement flight.
Delayed three hours or moreMeasured at your final destination.
Denied boardingOverbooked flights where you were left at the gate.
Missed connectionOne booking, a late first leg, and you land three hours late.
Two regulations, one outcome for passengers. Which one applies depends on where you flew from and which airline operated the flight.
Bad weather and strikes can excuse an airline. A technical fault or crew shortage usually does not. Your agent asks for the evidence, challenges weak refusals and takes the case to AviationADR or CEDR when needed.
Every airline has its own claim form, deadlines and excuses. Find yours below, from easyJet flight delay compensation to Ryanair flight delay compensation and more.
The band depends on the straight-line distance between airports, not the route flown. Five common routes from London show where each band falls. Distances are approximate.
Some airlines let you file a UK261 or EU261 claim yourself on their own site. Others make it hard. Either way, start by checking your flight against the rules above.
Three hours or more at your final destination, and the cause must be within the airline's control. The delay is measured from scheduled arrival to the moment the aircraft doors open.
Not under UK261 or EU261. Delays under three hours do not pay fixed compensation, but the airline may owe you meals and refreshments while you wait.
In England and Wales you can claim for flights up to six years ago. Scotland and EU countries use different limits, so the date of your flight matters.
Severe weather, air traffic control strikes and security risks can excuse an airline. Technical faults found during routine maintenance and crew shortages usually do not.
A rejection is often the first answer, not the last. Your agent reviews the reason, replies with the evidence and escalates to AviationADR or CEDR if the airline will not move.
UK261 covers flights leaving UK airports and UK airlines arriving in the UK. EU261 covers flights leaving EU airports and EU airlines arriving in the EU. Many flights are covered by both.
£220 for flights up to 1,500 km, £350 from 1,500 to 3,500 km and £520 beyond that under UK261, per passenger. EU261 pays €250, €400 and €600. Use the calculator above for your flight.
Yes. The calculator above takes the distance and how late you landed, and shows the UK261 and EU261 amount.
The same three bands as delays, per passenger. It applies when the airline cancels with less than 14 days notice and the cause was not an extraordinary circumstance. A refund or replacement flight is separate.
Yes, if the airline left you behind against your will. Denied boarding compensation under UK261 uses the same bands as delays.
If both flights were on one booking and you reached your final destination three hours or more late, you may be able to claim for the whole journey.
Weather and air traffic control strikes can excuse an airline. Strikes by the airline's own staff usually do not. Your agent asks for the evidence either way.
No. Delayed, lost or damaged baggage is a separate claim under different rules. UK261 and EU261 compensation covers delays, cancellations and denied boarding.
Yes. easyJet flight delay compensation and Ryanair flight delay compensation follow the same UK261 and EU261 rules as any other airline. If your flight left a UK or EU airport and landed three hours or more late for a reason within the airline's control, you may be owed £220, £350 or £520 per passenger under UK261.
Any airline on a flight covered by UK261 or EU261. That includes easyJet, British Airways, Ryanair, TUI, Jet2, Wizz Air, Emirates and KLM.
