Flight delay & cancellation compensation checker
Answer a few quick questions to see what you may be owed. General info, not legal advice — the airline makes the final call.
EU 261 and UK 261 payouts at a glance
- Under 1,500 km: €250 / £220
- 1,500–3,500 km: €400 / £350
- Over 3,500 km: €600 / £520
These apply when you arrive 3+ hours late or your flight is cancelled late, and the cause was within the airline's control.
US flights: refunds, not fixed payouts
