The rule that decides it
Arrival delay, not departure delay
A flight that pushes back two hours late but lands on time owes you nothing. One that leaves on schedule and lands three hours late usually does. What matters is the aircraft door opening at your final destination.
Find the actual arrival
Check the airline’s own status page or the arrival airport’s board, and note the scheduled and actual arrival times.
Work out the delay
Subtract scheduled from actual. Three hours or more, and a claim usually exists — unless the reason was genuinely extraordinary.
Check what it is worth
Enter the route and the delay into the calculator. The distance of the flight sets the band: €250, €400 or €600.
Where to see live status
Your airline’s flight status page
The authoritative record. Screenshot it — a dated capture of what the airline itself said is the single most useful document in a disputed claim.
The departure and arrival airport
Airports publish live arrivals and departures, often before the airline app updates. Useful when you are already at the gate.
EUROCONTROL
The European network manager publishes an air-traffic-flow picture, which explains many wide-area delays and the reason behind them.
This concept build runs without a live flight-data feed, so the tracker itself is not connected. The calculator below works from the details you enter.
