Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I’m owed flight compensation?
Enter your route and how late you arrived in the checker above. Under EU261/UK261 you’re generally owed €250–€600 / £220–£520 for an airline-caused delay of 3+ hours; Canada’s APPR pays CA$400–CA$1,000; the U.S. pays no cash for delays but owes a refund if you don’t travel. The checker applies the right rule to your specific flight.
Is this really free, and what’s the catch?
The checker, calculators, and claim-letter generator are completely free and ask for no personal data. We make money only if you choose to hand a claim to a no-win-no-fee firm through our link — which we disclose, and which never changes what we tell you. You can always claim yourself for free and keep 100%.
Do you file the claim for me?
No. We tell you whether you qualify, explain your rights, and generate a claim letter you send yourself. We never file claims, represent you, or collect your personal data. If you’d rather hand it off, we can point you to a reputable claims firm.
Why is the United States different?
The U.S. has no EU-style cash compensation for delays — the proposed federal rule was withdrawn. Instead you get an automatic cash refund if a significant change means you don’t fly, plus refunds of fees for services you didn’t receive. We handle U.S. flights with this separate logic so you’re never misled.
