Claim compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight

Steps

  1. Gather everything in one place: the booking, every email from the airline, boarding passes and receipts. Note the planned and actual arrival times at your final stop and the moment the airline first warned you.
  2. Give your facts to a chat assistant and have it decide, one flight at a time, which rule fits: EU 261, UK261, the American DOT refund rules or no rule at all, plus what it is unsure of. Notice timing matters: under EU rules a change announced over 14 days ahead earns no compensation.
  3. Read the official EU, UK CAA or US DOT page yourself and compare it with the assistant's answer. Where they differ, go with the official page and correct the assistant.
  4. Have the assistant write two separate letters, one asking for the set compensation amount and one for out-of-pocket costs like food and a hotel room. Each should cite the rule and flight, state the sum and list your evidence, with receipts attached to the costs letter.
  5. Send each claim yourself through the airline's own form or complaint address and keep a dated copy. A browser agent may fill the form for you but must stop before submitting.
  6. If the airline says no or goes silent, paste its reply back to the assistant and check the stated reason against the rule. Then prepare a complaint to the country's enforcement authority or a small claims court for you to approve and send.
  7. Expect weeks or months of waiting and often a first refusal. Under EU rules a technical fault does not count as an extraordinary circumstance.
