Letter templates FAQ

Are these letter templates legally binding, or legal advice?

No. These are plain-language templates that cite the relevant UK regulation so you can make a clear, well-evidenced claim yourself. They are not legal advice and do not guarantee an outcome — always fill in your own accurate details and adapt the wording to your situation. For complex or high-value disputes, consider independent legal advice.

Do I need to pay a claims management company to use these?

No. Every template on this page is designed so you can send it yourself directly to the airline, tour operator, or insurer. Claims companies typically take 25–35% of any compensation for work that usually takes 15–20 minutes to do yourself.

Which template should I use for a delayed or cancelled flight?

Start with the UK261 flight delay and cancellation claim letter. If you were refused boarding on an overbooked flight, use the denied boarding letter instead. If either claim is rejected or ignored after eight weeks, use the CEDR / Aviation ADR escalation letter.

Do I need to create an account or give my email to download a template?

No. Every template is free to read, copy, and download as plain text directly from its page — no sign-up required.
