Questions

Is this legal advice?

No. This is a quick estimate to help you understand your position, not a substitute for reading your airline's conditions of carriage or talking to a claims service or lawyer.

How do I actually claim EU261 compensation?

File directly with the airline first. If they refuse or ignore you, your national aviation authority or a claims service can escalate it — claims services typically take a 20-30% cut of the payout in exchange for handling the dispute.

Does the US have anything like EU261?

No — US law does not require cash compensation for delays or cancellations the way the EU does. The only mandated cash compensation is for involuntary denied boarding (bumping), which is what the US mode of this calculator estimates.

This is an estimate based on published EU261 tiers and US DOT bumping rules, not legal or financial advice. Rules, caps, and specific airline circumstances can change eligibility — verify with the airline or regulator before relying on this figure.
