You’re at the airport ready to begin your trip, and then you find out you have a long flight delay or cancellation. You begin to worry about how your plans will be affected and out-of-pocket expenses. Will this ruin your travel plans?
We get it. The stress is real, but you’re in the right place because we’re going to help you figure out how to navigate the inconvenience and get compensated for your trouble!
Compensation Basics
In most regions, airlines are responsible for getting you to your final destination close to the time you were supposed to arrive. If they don’t do this, you could be in a position to get as much as £520 in compensation, thanks to the UK261 and EU261 air passenger rights regulations.
This is where AirAdvisor’s Flight Compensation Calculator comes into play!
When you enter your flight information, our calculator will tell you exactly how much airline compensation you could be owed quickly and easily.
Surprisingly, almost 90% of air passengers do not claim compensation because they do not know that they have such a right. Don’t leave money on the table! Get started on your claim today!
How Compensation Payouts are Calculated
The laws in the UK and Europe state that the amount of compensation you receive from the airline is based on the length of your delay and the distance you’ve travelled.
Flight Delay Compensation
If you have a flight delay, your compensation payout will be based on:
- How late you arrive at your final destination,
- The distance of your flight, and
- Whether the airline was responsible for the delay.
So, if you arrive 3 or more hours later than your originally scheduled arrival time, then you become eligible for airline compensation. Makes sense, right?
Cancelled Flight Compensation
Canceled flight compensation is determined by:
- When the flight was cancelled
- The distance of your flight, and
- Whether the airline was responsible for the cancellation.
How Much Does an Airline Have to Compensate Passengers?
Here’s the exciting part! Based on the deciding factors we just mentioned, you could be entitled to the amounts listed below!
Distance of Your Flight | Compensation Payout |
Less than 932 miles (1,500 km) | £220 |
Between 932 - 2,175 miles (1,500-3,500 km) | £350 |
Over 2,175 miles (3,500 km) | £520 |
What You’ll Need to Check Your Compensation Eligibility
To check your eligibility and how much compensation you could receive, you’ll need to provide information about your flight(s) including:
- Travel dates
- Departing and arrival airports
- Your airline
- Information on the flight disruption
- Why your flight was delayed or cancelled (it’s OK if you don’t know)
Don’t worry if you don’t have all the information. Each step gives you options in a drop-down menu so you can choose the answer that fits. Once you start a claim, we’ll request additional documentation and details, so you can get the maximum payout possible. Sounds good, right?
How to Use the Flight Compensation Calculator
We designed this tool to be fast and super easy to use! Here’s a quick step-by-step guide on how it works.
Step 1
Start typing, then pick a departure and final destination airports from the drop-down options as seen in the image below. Be sure to gather all relevant flight documents like booking reservations and boarding passes so you can have the information handy.
Step 2
Get your compensation amount instantly! If you are entitled to compensation, we’ll help you submit your claim, so you can get it deposited into your bank account quickly and easily. Since we don’t take any upfront payments, you have nothing to lose! So, why not give it a try?
Step 3
Just enter your flight details and basic information, and we’ll help you to get your payout! We’ve added the following screenshots to show you how the claim process works.
Does the Amount Depend On the Ticket Price?
The compensation amounts do not depend on the price of your flight ticket. They are defined by the distance of your flight.
The only exception is that you are entitled to compensation of up to £350 for the delayed flights departing and arriving entirely within the EU.
For example: if you had a flight from Paris to Tenerife, you are eligible for compensation of £350 only even though the distance between the cities is more than 2,175 miles (3,500km).
To be sure, check how much the flight delay compensation is in your case with the help of our calculator above.
