You could be entitled to up to €600 in compensation under EU Regulation EC 261/2004.
Under EU Regulation 261/2004, you can claim up to €600 if your flight was delayed, cancelled, or overbooked — and the airline was at fault. This includes technical issues, crew shortages, and more.
If your flight arrived more than 3 hours late, and it wasn’t due to extraordinary circumstances (like extreme weather), you may have a valid claim. Our experts handle the process — no win, no fee.
Enter your flight details to see if you’re entitled to compensation under EU261.
The amount of compensation you are entitled to depends on distance and delay time, fixed by the EU and the same for all airlines.
| Flight Distance | Delay | Compensation |
|---|---|---|
| < 1,500 km | > 3 Hours | €250 |
| 1,500 – 3,500 km | > 3 Hours | €400 |
| > 3,500 km | 3–4 Hours | €300 |
| > 3,500 km | > 4 Hours | €600 |

Flight delay evidence
Flight compensation depends on the route, airline, delay length, cancellation timing, reason given and whether the airline can rely on extraordinary circumstances.
Boarding passes, booking confirmations, airline notices and arrival times can help establish the basic compensation position.
Technical issues, crew shortages, weather, air traffic restrictions and operational disruption can affect whether compensation is due.
Food, transport, hotel or replacement travel receipts should be kept separate from fixed compensation so the letter is clearer.
The free tool helps you prepare a structured airline letter using the flight details, route, delay and evidence you provide.
