How much flight compensation can you receive?
A practical guide to the €250, €400, and €600 compensation bands and the facts that affect your claim.
Flight compensation is not one fixed amount for every passenger. Under passenger-rights rules such as EU261 and UK261, eligible claims may be worth up to €250, €400, or €600 per passenger.
The amount depends mainly on the flight distance and the applicable legal framework. The delay at your final destination, the route, the airline, and the reason for the disruption also matter.
A delayed flight usually needs to arrive around three hours late or more at the final destination. For cancellations, the notice period and the replacement flight timing are important. For denied boarding, the key point is whether it was involuntary.
Claim Please starts with a preliminary checker. It gives an estimate based on your route and disruption details, but it is not a guarantee. The final assessment depends on the evidence and airline response.
