Rules, scope and sources · Checked 3 October 2026

This tool covers UK261, not a separate EU261 award. Amounts are conditional, in pounds, per eligible passenger. Cancellation notice, replacement offers and involuntary boarding conditions are assessed separately. Exact reduction boundaries, unknown facts and complex connections are flagged for review.

Claim directly with the operating airline first. After a final response or eight weeks without resolution, check the airline’s ADR route and scheme terms, or the CAA if no scheme applies. Scheme costs and court routes vary.

Estimate only — not legal advice. Full rules and a step-by-step claim guide at flightlogic.co.uk/guides/uk261-flight-delay-compensation-uk.
