Am I Eligible?

You may be owed compensation if any of these are true:

  • Your flight departed from the EU/UK on any airline (or arrived to EU/UK on an EU/UK-based airline)
  • Your flight was delayed by 3+ hours on arrival
  • Your flight was cancelled less than 14 days before departure
  • You were denied boarding due to overbooking
  • You missed a connecting flight on the same booking due to a delay on the first leg
  • It happened in the last 3 years (some EU countries allow 5)

Run AirHelp's free eligibility checker - paste your flight number and date, and they'll tell you in 30 seconds whether you can claim. If yes, they file for you. If they win, they keep ~35% as their fee. If they lose, you owe nothing.

FAQ

Common Questions

How long does it take to get paid?+
Best case 2-6 weeks (when the airline accepts the claim). Worst case 6-18 months (when they fight it and AirHelp escalates to court). Most cases close in 2-4 months.
Can I just file the claim myself for free?+
Yes, technically. But airlines reject ~50% of self-filed claims by default and many travelers give up. AirHelp wins 8 of 10 escalated cases. The 35% fee is the cost of "actually getting paid."
What about US flights?+
EU 261 only applies to flights departing the EU or arriving on an EU-based carrier. US-only domestic flights have weaker passenger rights - AirHelp still helps with overbooking and tarmac delays under DOT rules.
Is AirHelp+ worth it?+
If you fly 5+ international trips a year - yes. The membership pre-files claims automatically and includes lounge access. ROI hits at one cancelled flight.
