How It Works

Complete Form

Use our online flight checker to determine whether your flight qualifies for compensation. All you need is your flight number and date of flight to discover how much you could be owed.

We'll Assess Your Case

Your case will be handled by experts who will send a formal Letter of Claim to the airline on your behalf. If they fail to recognise your claim for compensation, we will review your claim for possible further action.

Airline Issues Payment

Once the airline agrees to pay out for your claim, we will send the settlement directly to you.

The Ruling

The legislation for flight compensation is governed by the EU/UK Law, EU Law 261/UK Law 261, and gives you the right to claim for delayed or cancelled fligh.

The Problem

Claiming yourself can be a long, laborious and stressful experience. More often than not the airlines will either ignore your letters, or try to say the claim is not valid.

The Solution

With 1stflightclaims.com your claim is hassle free and backed up by a team of experts. We act on a no win no fee basis, meaning that you don’t pay us a penny unless we’re successful in claiming your compensation.

Compensation Amounts You Can Claim

Flight delay compensation amounts are set by EU Law 261/UK Law 261. The amount you can claim depends upon length of the delay and the distance of the flight.

The amount is not dependent upon how much you paid for your ticket and every passenger is eligible for compensation including claims for child passengers. The level of compensation available for valid flight delay claims is set out below:

Flight Delay Compensation Amounts

Flight Distance	Length Of Delay	UK Compensation Amount	EU Compensation Amount
Up to 1,500km	3 hours or more	£220	250 Euros
1,500km - 3,500km	3 hours or more	£350	400 Euros
Over 3,500km	Between 2 EU Member States & 3 hours or more	£350	400 Euros
Over 3,500km	3-4 hours	£350	300 Euros
Over 3,500km	More than 4 hours	£520	600 Euros

How Can We Help?

Many passengers find that trying to claim compensation can be very frustrating and time consuming. In many cases, the airline reject the claim or cite 'extraordinary circumstances' for not upholding the complaint.

We represent the passenger and demand your right to compensation from the airlines with threat of Court action if necessary. There are no middlemen involved. We work directly with the airline to make sure you receive the compensation you deserve. In many cases the threat of legal action is sufficient to bring about a successful outcome.

The only cost to you is a percentage of the paid compensation amount, if we are successful with your claim. Even in the unlikely situation where Court action may be required we cover all Court costs and fees so there is absolutely no risk to you.
