Overbooked flight compensation
Bumped from an overbooked flight? Check cash compensation, rerouting and voucher rights. 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
You may qualify if the airline sold more seats than available and you were refused boarding or moved to a later flight.
Evidence to gather
Keep the airline request, voucher wording, replacement flight details and final arrival time.
Common mistake
Volunteering, accepting vouchers and being involuntarily bumped have different effects. The wording matters.
How MeClaims handles it
- Checks the route, rule, contract or complaint path that applies.
