Flight Delay Compensation Calculator UK

You can claim compensation if your flight arrived 3+ hours late at the final destination, the flight departed from or arrived at a UK/EU airport, and the delay was within the airline's control (not extraordinary circumstances like severe weather or air traffic control strikes).

Airlines do not have to pay compensation for delays caused by extraordinary circumstances including severe weather, air traffic control restrictions, security risks, political instability, or hidden manufacturing defects. Staff shortages and technical faults are generally NOT extraordinary circumstances.

In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, you have 6 years from the date of the flight to make a claim. In Scotland, the limit is 5 years. The clock starts from the scheduled date of travel.
