We'll Assess Your Case

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.

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.

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:
