FAQ

How much is EU261 flight delay compensation?: For delays of 3 hours or more at arrival, fixed amounts often apply: typically €250 under 1,500 km, €400 between 1,500 and 3,500 km, and €600 over 3,500 km, subject to the specific flight and jurisdiction. Always verify against the regulation and your ticket.
Does EU261 apply to UK flights after Brexit?: UK261 mirrors many EU261 protections for UK carriers and certain departures/arrivals. The exact regime depends on airline, routing, and date — GhostAgent surfaces the basis in your letter draft, but you should confirm applicability.
Can I claim if the airline offered a voucher?: You may still have a right to cash compensation in qualifying cases. Airlines sometimes push vouchers first; your formal claim letter should cite the regulation that applies to your itinerary.
