Frequently asked questions

Do US or other non-EU passengers qualify?

Often yes. EU261 and UK261 protect passengers on qualifying flights regardless of nationality. A US citizen on a delayed departure from Paris or London may claim the same as an EU resident. Rules depend on departure airport, arrival airport, and carrier - not your passport.

How much compensation can I get?

Fixed amounts are typically €250, €400, or €600 per passenger based on flight distance, when delay at arrival is at least 3 hours and extraordinary circumstances do not apply.

How far back can I claim?

Many countries allow claims for several years. We use a 3-year window as a practical guide - local limitation periods vary (e.g. UK, Germany, Spain differ).

Should I use a claim company or DIY?

DIY is free but slow and airlines often reject first attempts. Claim partners take a success fee (often 25-35%) but handle escalation and courts. Our partners offer free eligibility checks.
