Airline not responding or rejecting your claim?

Unfortunately that's common — and no reason to give up. A rejection is typically followed by an escalation letter with a deadline, then the dispute resolution body. Don't let a first rejection put you off.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much compensation am I entitled to?
Compensation depends on the flight distance: 250 EUR up to 1,500 km, 400 EUR for all flights within the EU over 1,500 km and all other flights up to 3,500 km, and 600 EUR for all other flights.
When am I entitled to compensation for a flight delay?
You are entitled to compensation if your flight arrives at the destination at least 3 hours late and the cause is within the airline's responsibility. This was established by the European Court of Justice in the Sturgeon/Condor ruling (C-402/07).
How does ClaimEU261 differ from AirHelp or Flightright?
AirHelp and Flightright handle enforcement on a contingency basis. ClaimEU261 offers a transparent one-time flat fee of 10.00 EUR for the complaint letter. You send the letter to the airline yourself.
What applies to flight cancellations?
In case of cancellation, you are entitled to compensation unless the airline informed you more than 14 days in advance or offered an equivalent alternative flight. In extraordinary circumstances (e.g., severe weather), the claim is void.
What does the service cost?
The complaint letter costs a one-time flat fee of 10.00 EUR. No subscriptions, no hidden costs, no recurring charges.
