No win, No fee
Passengers are entitled to compensation for flight disruptions, except when delays are due to 'extraordinary circumstances' beyond the airline's control. These situations may include severe weather, acts of terrorism, security threats, or other unpredictable events.
Sometimes, airlines use the “extraordinary circumstances” defense even when better contingency planning could have prevented the delay. If your claim for flight delay compensation has been denied, we may still be able to assist.
By partnering with top flight delay specialists, we’ll work to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
NO-WIN, NO-FEE* – there's nothing to lose.

What is the flight delay claim about?
Common Questions About Flight Compensation Claims
How long do I have to make a claim?
In the UK, you can claim for flight disruptions under air passenger law for up to 6 years from the date of the incident. This includes delays, cancellations, or other flight issues. Note that the time limits for claims under EU Regulations can differ by country.
How do I make a claim?
- Fill out our online Flight Claims form – Make sure you have your flight details, such as booking reference, departure and arrival airports, and flight date. You can also include others from your booking with their permission.
- Claim assessment – Our team will review your claim. If it's valid, we refer it to our partner to pursue your compensation. Both services operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, so you only pay if compensation is received.
- Receive payment – Once the airline agrees to compensate, we’ll transfer the funds directly to your bank account. Ensure you provide your bank details when requested.
How much could I be entitled to?
Compensation varies:
- Up to £220 for flights under 1,500 km
- Up to £350 for flights between 1,500 km and 3,500 km
- Up to £520 for flights over 3,500 km
How long does it take to process a claim?
Airlines have up to 8 weeks to respond, but many take longer or issue standard rejections. We persistently follow up and keep you informed throughout the process.
How long will it take to get compensation?
Processing times vary depending on factors like flight details, the airline, and legal complexities. We aim to resolve claims promptly and will keep you updated.
Can I use more than one claims company?
Using multiple companies could lead to complications and additional fees.
What if I no longer have my travel documents?
A booking reference is usually enough, but keeping your travel documents is recommended. Proof of payment may suffice, and travel agents or airlines can often provide copies if needed.
What is the difference between compensation and a refund?
Compensation is a monetary award for delays or cancellations caused by the airline. Refunds reimburse ticket costs when travel is not completed, often due to cancellations or significant delays. You may be eligible for both.
What is the Montreal Convention?
This treaty outlines compensation rights for issues like lost baggage or injuries on international flights. It sets a legal basis for claims but does not guarantee compensation.
What are my rights for flight delays?
If your flight is delayed by more than 3 hours due to the airline’s fault, you may be eligible for compensation. Airlines must also provide refreshments during long airport waits.
What are my rights for flight cancellations?
You can claim compensation if:
- The airline informed you of the cancellation less than 14 days before departure.
- The airline caused the cancellation. You can also request a refund or rebooking.
Can I claim for a missed connection?
Compensation requires a total arrival delay of 3+ hours. It’s more complex if the connecting flight is with a different airline or outside the EU, but we’ll review your case.
Can I claim for other passengers or children?
You can claim for everyone on your booking, with permission. Children under 2 years old are not eligible for compensation.
Does Brexit affect my rights?
Your rights remain largely unchanged. UK261 now governs compensation for flights involving the UK. We simplify the process to ensure you can still claim up to £520.
What if my claim was rejected by the airline?
Even if an airline has previously rejected your claim, you may still be eligible for compensation. We will review your case and determine if there are valid grounds to pursue compensation.
What if my flight is overbooked?
If denied boarding, you can request a replacement flight or a refund. Compensation applies if you didn't voluntarily give up your seat.
Do rights apply during strikes?
Yes, strikes often entitle you to alternative transport and compensation, depending on the situation. Airlines must provide support such as refreshments or accommodations.
Can I claim for a package holiday?
Yes, flight compensation rules also apply to package holidays.
Why have I received a court summons?
Airlines may dispute claims in court. Respond truthfully and concisely, and we’ll guide you through the process. Often, written responses suffice, so court appearances may not be necessary.
What are “extraordinary circumstances”?
These are events beyond an airline’s control, such as severe weather or strikes. In such cases, compensation is not owed, but airlines must provide support under UK/EU Regulations.
Air travel remains incredibly popular, with millions of people flying to destinations worldwide every day. However, this high volume also brings its share of challenges, like cancellations and delays that can disrupt travel plans.
