Before you start

The questions everyone asks.

How much compensation am I owed for a delayed flight?+

Under EU261 it is €250 for flights up to 1,500 km, €400 for flights over 1,500 km within the EU or between 1,500 and 3,500 km, and €600 for flights over 3,500 km outside the EU — per passenger, if you arrived more than three hours late. UK261 pays £220, £350 and £520 on the same bands.

How is $19 flat cheaper than a no-win-no-fee claim company?+

Claim companies take up to 35% of what you recover. On a €600 claim that is about €210 — and on a family of four it is roughly €840. Our price does not change with the size of your claim.

What if the airline says it was extraordinary circumstances?+

That is a real defence, but a narrow one, and the airline has to prove it. Weather, air traffic control strikes and security incidents usually qualify. Technical faults do not — the Court of Justice held so in Wallentin-Hermann (C-549/07) — and neither does a strike by the airline's own staff (Krüsemann, C-195/17). The kit includes a rebuttal for each.

Do I need an account to check?+

No. The eligibility check is free and anonymous, and you see the verdict and the reasoning before you are asked for anything at all.

Am I owed anything if my delay was caused by weather?+

Not compensation — but your right to care survives. The airline still owes you meals, communications and a hotel if you were kept overnight, and you can claim those costs back. Most passengers never do.

Does this work for US flights?+

Partly, and we say so plainly. The US has no equivalent of EU261 — there is no fixed cash compensation for a delay. What you are owed is a prompt automatic refund for cancellations and significant changes, and cash compensation if you were bumped from an oversold flight.

FlightOwe — The airline owes you. Keep all of it.
