Your rights
We help you with your flight problem
Cancelled or delayed? We support you with all kinds of flight problems and claim your compensation — even three years retroactively.
Flight delay
If you land three hours or more late at your final destination, you are likely owed between €250 and €600.
€250–€600Flight cancellation
A flight cancelled at short notice is worth the same fixed sums as a long delay — unless you were told well in advance.
€250–€600Denied boarding
Turned away at the gate despite a confirmed booking? That is denied boarding, and it carries fixed compensation.
€250–€600Missed connection
If one booking took you through two flights and you arrived three hours late, the connecting flight counts.
€250–€600Overbooking
Airlines sell more seats than the aircraft has. When the maths catches up with them, the regulation protects you.
€250–€600Airline strikes
A strike by the airline’s own staff does not excuse it. A strike by air-traffic control usually does.
€250–€600Bad weather
Severe weather really is extraordinary — but it still triggers the airline’s duty to look after you.
Duty of careLuggage problems
Baggage is covered by the Montreal Convention, not EU 261 — with a limit of about €1,500 per passenger.
Up to ~€1,500Ticket & replacement travel
When a flight is cancelled or long delayed, you get your money back — and the cost of getting there another way.
Full refundWhy Flightright
The market leader for air passenger rights
Anyone who enlists the services of Flightright takes advantage not only of our experience, but of our reputation within the airline industry. Because of our high success rate in court, many airlines now prefer to pay as soon as we make contact.
Our own legal experts
Flightright is a legal services company working with contract law firms across Europe. Where an airline refuses, we take the case to court at our own risk.
We do the chasing
From the first letter to the final judgement, the correspondence with the airline is ours to handle. You are kept up to date by email and in the portal.
No financial risk
No win, no fee. There is nothing to pay if your claim is unsuccessful, even if the dispute reaches court. Our fee is only ever taken from money we recover.
Technology that does the work
Our own database holds more than 80 million records — strikes, weather, court decisions and European flight data — updated daily, so an assessment takes seconds.

Customer reviews
Passengers who got what they were owed
“We were told it was a technical fault and the airline refused twice. Flightright took the correspondence over entirely and the €600 came through in about ten weeks. I would not have had the patience to chase it.”
“A four-hour delay on a short hop, and I had assumed there was nothing to claim. The free check told me otherwise. Everything was handled by email and the money was in my account before the spring.”
“The connection was missed in Frankfurt and we arrived nearly a day late. Flightright assessed the whole journey as one booking and the compensation reflected the full distance, not just the first leg.”
