Flight delay compensation
Delayed flight? Check UK261 and EU261 compensation. You may be owed up to GBP 520 or EUR 600 per passenger. 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
A delayed flight normally qualifies when you arrive at your final destination 3 hours or more late and the airline was responsible for the cause. The delay is measured at arrival, not just departure.
Evidence to gather
Keep the flight number, scheduled and actual arrival time, boarding pass, booking confirmation, airport messages and screenshots from the airline app.
Common mistake
Technical faults, crew planning and knock-on operational problems are often more challengeable than passengers are told.
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.
