When Are You Entitled to Compensation?

You can submit a claim for past flights dating back up to 3 to 6 years (depending on route jurisdiction):

Flight Delays

If your flight arrives at your final destination 3 or more hours later than scheduled due to technical issues, operational faults, or airline scheduling.

Flight Cancellations

If the airline informed you of a flight cancellation less than 14 days prior to departure without offering suitable alternative transport.

Denied Boarding

If the airline overbooked the aircraft and denied you boarding against your will, even though you checked in and arrived on time.

Missed Connections

If a delay on your first flight caused you to miss your connecting flight under a single booking, arriving 3+ hours late at your destination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flight delay & cancellation compensation

Checking your flight and submitting a claim through Compensair is 100% free. If your claim is unsuccessful for any reason, you owe nothing (€0). Only when the airline successfully pays out your compensation does Compensair deduct a 25-35% service fee.
Depending on the country where your flight operated or where the airline is registered, you can claim compensation for disrupted flights that took place up to 3 to 6 years ago (e.g., 6 years in the UK, 3 years in Germany, 5 years in France/Spain).
You are eligible if: (1) Your flight departed from any airport within the EU/UK (regardless of the airline), or (2) Your flight arrived at an EU/UK airport on an EU/UK registered airline (e.g. Lufthansa, British Airways, Air France, Ryanair, KLM, Wizz Air).
To start your free check, you only need your flight number, date, and basic passenger details. When filing the claim, having your booking confirmation (PNR code) or electronic boarding pass will help expedite airline verification.
Many cooperative airlines respond and settle claims within 2 to 8 weeks. If an airline is slow or requires formal legal escalation, the process can take several months. Compensair keeps you informed at every step until funds are wired to your account.
