Delayed flight compensation
Check compensation for a delayed flight. MeClaims checks route coverage, arrival delay and airline responsibility. Flight disruption pages are built for people who know something went wrong but are not sure whether UK261, EU261, a cancellation rule or a baggage rule applies.

When this can qualify
The key question is your final arrival time. A flight can leave late but not qualify if it makes up time, or leave only slightly late and still qualify if the final arrival crosses the 3-hour threshold.
Evidence to gather
Arrival screenshots, airport boards, airline delay messages and your booking confirmation help prove the timeline.
Common mistake
Do not focus only on departure delay. The legal trigger is normally final arrival delay.
How MeClaims handles it
- Checks the route, rule, contract or complaint path that applies.
- Turns scattered evidence into a structured claim record.
- Tracks next steps so the claim can move from intake to review and escalation.
