Passengers at airport checking delayed flight information

Could your flight qualify?

Under EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers may be able to claim compensation when a flight arrives more than 3 hours late and the airline was responsible.

Typical qualifying reasons can include technical faults, crew shortages, operational problems, or other airline-controlled issues. Extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or air traffic control restrictions may not qualify.

Important:

FreeFlightClaim is a document preparation tool. We do not provide legal advice and we do not take a percentage of your compensation.
