Flight cancellation compensation

Cancelled flight? Check whether the notice period, rerouting and airline reason mean compensation is owed. 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.

What it could be worth

Compensation can still be owed even if the airline refunded or rerouted you.

When this can qualify

Cancellation claims depend on when the airline told you, what replacement journey it offered and whether the airline had a valid defence.

Evidence to gather

Keep the cancellation email, old and new itinerary, refund or voucher offer, and the time you actually arrived.

Common mistake

A refund does not always settle the compensation issue. Refund rights and fixed compensation are separate questions.

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.

What to do before you leave it

Write down the date, reference number, names of the company or airline involved, and the exact answer you have already been given. Save screenshots before apps or portals overwrite them. If you have already complained, keep that complaint thread together so MeClaims can see what has been admitted, refused or ignored.
