Frequently Asked Questions
What is EU261?
An EU regulation requiring airlines to compensate passengers between €250 and €600 for flights delayed over 3 hours, cancelled, or denied boarding — applicable to any flight departing an EU airport or arriving on an EU-based airline.
How much compensation can I get?
The amount depends on flight distance: €250 for short flights (up to 1,500 km), €400 for medium (1,500-3,500 km), and €600 for long flights (over 3,500 km).
How long does a claim take?
On average 3 to 6 months. Some cases are resolved within weeks, others require legal proceedings that take additional months.
Can I claim for old flights?
Yes — you can claim for flights from the last 3 years (the limit varies by country, up to 6 years in some cases).
How much does the service cost?
No upfront fees. The partner takes 35% of the compensation only upon success (50% if legal action is needed). If the claim fails, you pay nothing.
When am I not eligible?
Extraordinary circumstances (severe weather, air traffic strikes, medical emergencies), when the airline offers acceptable rerouting, or if you failed to check in.
