Type a flight number
Flight number plus the date is all we need. We check it against EU261 and UK261 and tell you what your flight is worth.

The whole process, start to settlement, in four steps.
A flight check, one digital signature, our team versus the airline, and a deposit in your account. Timing depends on the airline and case, and Flight Delay Compensation only invoices when the airline actually pays out.
Three minutes from you. The rest is ours.
From the moment your flight number lands in our system, you're hands-off. Track each milestone in your dashboard if you want — most people just wait for the email that says "paid".
A small team that does one thing properly
EU261 and UK261 give passengers a statutory right to compensation when flights are significantly delayed, cancelled at short notice, or oversold. In practice, exercising that right means navigating airline claim portals, rejection letters, and — sometimes — national regulators or court.
Flight Delay Compensation does that work end-to-end on a no-win, no-fee basis. Each case is assessed against the regulation and current case law. If we don't recover anything, you don't pay.
Zero risk, zero invoice
You see one charge, ever: 25% of the airline's payout. No win means no bill, no admin fee, no quiet small print.
Built on the regulation
Every claim is assessed against EC 261/2004, UK261 and the CJEU and English court rulings that interpret them.
We challenge "extraordinary circumstances"
When an airline cites "extraordinary circumstances", we check whether the stated reason actually qualifies before accepting it.
UK and EU coverage
We handle claims wherever EU261 or UK261 applies — covering departures from the UK and any EU/EEA member state.
What you can actually claim, by distance
Both EC Regulation 261/2004 and the UK's retained UK261 compensate passengers for arrival delays of 3+ hours, cancellations announced fewer than 14 days out, and involuntary denied boarding.
