Compensation by route
The same disruption pays wildly different amounts depending on the route. Pick yours to see the exact great-circle distance, which law governs it, and what you're owed — every figure computed live, not looked up.
Route proof board: amounts are computed from bundled airport coordinates and the rules engine for an airline-controlled disruption. These are not live flight records or invented claim outcomes.

Don't see your route? The compensation checker works for any pair of airports — these pages just pre-answer the most-searched ones.
Planning the trip itself rather than chasing a payout? Before you book the next leg, check whether your passport needs an ESTA or visa for your destination — entry requirements depend on which passport you hold, not just where the route lands.
