Free 60-second check for EU261, UK261 and Canadian APPR claims. If you are owed money, get a kit that answers the airline with evidence and the right escalation route. Free during our launch phase, delivered by email. You keep 100 % of the compensation.
Airlines reject more than half of valid claims on first contact, mostly with “extraordinary circumstances” templates. Most of those rejections do not survive a formal, evidenced reply.
Enter your route, airline and what happened. We compute distance, applicable law and the amount, and read the airline’s excuse against EU court rulings.
One fixed price. You receive a rebuttal or claim letter, paste-ready form text, and an evidence pack built from Eurocontrol delay data and airport weather for your flight day.
If the airline still stalls, we tell you exactly which free regulator or ADR scheme to file with, when, and how, or how to use the small claims court.
For a typical €400 claim, the three options look like this.
| Claims agency | Do it alone | This kit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you keep | €200 to €300 (fees of 25–50 % incl. legal surcharge) | €400 | €400 minus €19 |
| Who signs the claim | Agency (you assign your claim) | You | You |
| Evidence against the excuse | Sometimes, after months | You search yourself | Included, from official data |
| Time to money | 4 weeks to 18 months | Depends on your persistence | Your pace, with deadlines pre-set |
| Weak cases | Often declined silently | You find out late | We tell you upfront |
No. The checker and the kit are software that assembles documents from your inputs and public data. We are not a law firm and do not assess your individual case. For binding advice, consult a lawyer or your national consumer centre.
EU261: all flights departing from the EU, Iceland, Norway or Switzerland, and flights arriving there on an EU airline. UK261: flights departing the UK, and flights into the UK on a UK or EU airline. APPR: flights to, from or within Canada. The 3-hour threshold and the €250/€400/€600 amounts remain in force under the 2026 EU reform.
Airlines only escape compensation for “extraordinary circumstances” they can prove. EU courts have ruled that technical defects, crew shortages and the airline’s own strikes are not extraordinary. Weather and air traffic control can be, but only if they actually hit your flight. The kit documents this with data.
The free check tells you. If the airline’s reason is usually accepted (e.g. an air traffic control strike), we say so before you pay anything.
Eurocontrol publishes daily air traffic flow management delay data by cause, and historical airport weather reports (METAR) are public. We pull both for your flight day and attach them to your letter.
It depends on the country whose courts would hear the case: 6 years in England and Wales, 3 years in Germany, 5 in France and Spain, 2 in Italy and the Netherlands, 1 year in Canada. The 2026 EU reform introduces a much shorter deadline for flights from late 2027 on.
