Our partner handles the whole claim on a no-win, no-fee basis.
How did we calculate this?
Article 7 of the regulation sets tiers by great-circle distance: €250 up to 1,500 km, €400 between 1,500–3,500 km, €600 above (capped at €400 within the EU). On 3,500+ km routes with a 3–4 hour delay the amount may be halved. Distance is computed from airport coordinates. A 'likely' verdict means entitlement depends on proof of the cause — which our partner checks for free.

Frequently asked questions

How much compensation am I owed for a delay?

Under EU 261/2004, for arrival delays of 3+ hours you're owed €250, €400 or €600 per passenger depending on distance — regardless of ticket price. For a family of four that's up to €2,400.

Can I claim for old flights?

Yes, retroactively. Limitation periods vary by country — typically 2–6 years. It's worth checking old delays too.

How much does claiming cost?

Our check is free and requires no personal data. If you hand the claim to our partner, they work no-win-no-fee: a fee applies only to successful claims, deducted from the compensation.

What am I owed if not compensation?

For cancellations and long delays you're entitled — independently of compensation — to rebooking or a refund, care (food, drinks) after 2+ hours, and accommodation for overnight disruptions. Request these directly from the airline.

What counts as extraordinary circumstances?

Extreme weather, ATC strikes, airspace closures — usually no compensation then. But: technical faults and the airline's own crew strikes are NOT extraordinary according to courts. Airlines often invoke it wrongly — that's why the free check matters.

Does it apply to Wizz Air / Ryanair flights?

Yes. The regulation covers every flight departing the EU, including low-cost carriers — and flights into the EU on EU airlines from anywhere in the world.

Why we built this
As a traveller it bothered me that our rights are strong on paper, yet few people use them — simply because they don't know what they're owed. TripRights makes it simple: we show you what's yours, and our partner handles the rest.
