ARRIVALS   DELAYED

If the board said DELAYED, the airline may owe you cash.

EU261, UK261, and US denied-boarding rules pay a fixed amount when a flight is late, cancelled, or you are bumped, if the airline caused it. Most people never send the letter.

Questions

How much can I get?

EU/UK: €250, €400, or €600 per person by distance, for 3+ hour delays or short-notice cancellations the airline caused. US: denied boarding has its own DOT scale. Weather and ATC usually do not pay.

Do you take a cut of the payout?

No. One fee. You keep whatever the airline pays.

Do I have to live in the EU?

No. EU261 covers flights leaving the EU, and flights into the EU on an EU carrier. UK261 is the UK twin. Put the real route in the form.

What if I am not eligible?

The packet still says so in plain language and still gives you a complaint letter. You are not charged extra.
