FLIGHT DELAY CLAIMS

Flight Delay Claims

Both UK and European law allow you to make a claim for financial compensation if your flight has been delayed or cancelled or if you are denied boarding.

Some claims arise from EU Regulation 261/2004 and post-Brexit some claims arise under UK Regulation 261 (which has amended the EU Regulation). Both regulations state that if a flight is delayed for more than 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled or you are denied boarding, then you are entitled to receive financial compensation. The regulation that applies depends on whether the airline is a UK Airline, a European Airline, or another Airline.  The table below shows which regulation may apply to your claim.

Compensation can range from €250 to €600 (EU) or £220 to £520 (UK) per passenger, per flight.

Therefore, if your flight has been delayed or cancelled or, if you have been denied boarding within the last 6 years, then we can help you get the compensation that you are due.

For most cases, we can work on a no-win, no-fee agreement.  However this depends on the prospects of success, the overall value of the claim, and the complexity of the case.   Details of the fee we offer you will be advised to you once we have assessed your case.

We will assess your flight delay claims at the outset and advise you as to whether you are entitled to compensation and once you have completed all the necessary paperwork (there isn’t much), we shall pursue the airline for your compensation.

If in the event that court proceedings are required due to the airline not responding or denying your claim, then we shall pass your claim onto our partner litigation law firm and they will deal with your claim through the courts ensuring that you receive the compensation that you are due.  You may be required to pay court fees or barrister fees.  Details of this will be advised to you at the relevant time.
