By submitting your claim to Flight-Delayed.co.uk you have signed a power of attorney authorising us to act on your behalf. The airline did not respond positively to our demand, but we still believe that you are entitled to compensation. That's why we want to take the next step.

The partner POA we are requesting grants us your authorization to proceed to the next phase. This form allows our lawyers/legal team/external partner to act on your behalf in the court of competent jurisdiction.

Occasionally, the airline might contact you directly for payment. We strongly advise reviewing the offer with our claims specialist team before sharing your details with them. You can do so by using the 'Support' feature in your account to send them a message.

Providing your bank details could signify acceptance of their offer. Please exercise caution when sharing bank or credit card details with third parties, as scammers may pose as airlines to obtain sensitive information. Never share your CVC code found on the back of credit cards.

When in doubt, you can reach out to us through your account and upload any emails you've received from the airline for assistance.

In certain situations, we may require a copy of your passport or identification card for two specific reasons. Firstly, the airline needs to confirm if the information matches your booking details, ensuring you were indeed a passenger on the delayed flight. Secondly, they may want to validate the authorization by cross-referencing the signed power of attorney form with your passport.

We understand the importance of handling your documents with care. To protect against any potential identity theft, we recommend clearly marking the document as a 'copy,' including the date, and specifying the intended recipient company.

The conditions to be entitled to compensation varies depending on the flight disruption. It depends on the lenght of the delay, or on when the airline informed you that your flight was cancelled. More information our Passenger Rights page.

Extraordinary circumstances, as defined by regulations, can sometimes be considered force majeure. Airlines may not be required to pay compensation if the delay or cancellation was due to such circumstances. Examples include volcanic eruptions, bomb threats, and political unrest. We evaluate these circumstances individually to ensure fair assessment. Learn more about extraordinary circumstances.

The compensation amount depends on the distance of your flight. The minimum compensation you can receive is £220 and it can go up to £520 for long-haul flights. More details on our Passenger Rights page.

Yes, compensation is payable per person and is not dependent on the ticket price. It aims to compensate you for the time lost due to the disruption, whether it's a delay, cancellation, or denied boarding.

Determining delay duration can be challenging for passengers. The delay in arrival is the key factor; if it exceeds 3 hours, you may be entitled to compensation. If unsure you can easily and quickly check your eligibility with our free Claim Calculator.

If your flight wasn't delayed over 3 hours, you may not be eligible for compensation. However, you could still receive meals, refreshments, communication facilities, or accommodation if the delay exceeded 2 hours. Rules for cancellations differ from delays: you can get compensation if your alternative flight arrives at least 2 hours later than the initial cancelled flight.

You should be entitled to compensation if your total delay in arrival was 3 hours or more. However, you will need to have booked a connecting flight with sufficient time to transfer. Claiming compensation may also be difficult if your connecting flight was operated by a different airline or if your connecting flight took place outside the EU.

Airlines are obliged to offer you an alternative flight or a refund for your original ticket in the event of a cancellation. You may still be eligible for compensation, depending on the cause of the cancellation and whether it qualifies as extraordinary circumstances.

However: if your travel agent decided to rebook you on another flight but the original flight was operated on time you are not entitled to receive compensation, because in that case the airline cannot be held responsible for the delay you experienced.

Airlines are required to provide care during long delays, including food, drinks, accommodation, and communication facilities. This care is separate from compensation, which is based on the delay duration. Accepting vouchers or offers from the airline DO NOT waive your right to compensation.

Airlines may reimburse expenses directly related to your delay, such as food or drinks at the airport or hotel accommodation during a lengthy delay. Keep your receipts for reimbursement. For losses such as missed holiday activities, hotel, etc, you need to check it with your travel insurance.

Delayed or lost luggage falls outside the delay regulation. Contact the airline or your travel insurance for assistance in such cases.

If your flight was cancelled because of the Covid-19 pandemic, airlines must refund the full price of your ticket within 7 days. It is possible that airlines try to offer you a voucher instead of a monetary refund — don't accept those as they often come with usage restrictions. We can also help you with getting a refund for your cancelled flight — fill in your flight details in our Claim Calculator and we'll take it from there!

Yes, you can add multiple passengers to your claim, provided they traveled under the same booking. Separate claims may be necessary if the passengers had separate bookings.

Infants under 2 years old, who usually travel at a reduced rate or share a seat with a parent, are not entitled to compensation. If your children were under 2 at the time of your flight (the child had not yet turned 2 on the day of the flight), they should not be included on the passenger list in your account.

Under European legislation, the limit to submit a claim depends on the flight route. The time limit is different for each country. For instance, in the UK, the statute of limitation is set at 6 years (5 years in Scotland), in France, you can claim for up to 5 years and in the Netherlands only for 2 years after your flight. The flight calculator on our home page takes these different criteria into account to provide you with accurate information about your compensation.

Claim processing time varies, but we work to expedite the process. Compensation may take a few months or longer, depending on legal processes and enforcement bodies' timelines.

This depends on the situation. In most cases, the compensation will be transferred to our bank account by the airline. We will then ask you to provide your bank account details so we can transfer the compensation to you, after our fee has been deducted. In the event the compensation is transferred to your bank account directly we will send an invoice for the fee.

If you experienced a delay on two different flights that are not in the same booking you will need to submit two separate claims. As the circumstances of these flights will never be exactly identical, they will also need to be assessed separately. Several flights may be included in the same claim only if they are part of the same booking.

If the airline has rejected your initial request, you can still file your claim with us, as airlines often decline requests citing 'extraordinary circumstances.' Once you've submitted your claim, we will evaluate our options. Depending on the unique circumstances and the airline's initial response, we may choose to streamline certain steps. You can monitor the progress of your claim and the actions we take in your client account.

We operate on a 'no win, no fee' basis. Our experts handle all the paperwork and negotiate with the airline on your behalf to enhance your chances of receiving compensation. When we succeed, our fee is 29% of the compensation amount.

However, if airlines unjustly deny passengers compensation, we initiate legal proceedings to protect your rights. These legal actions come with associated costs (research, lawyers, hearings, paperwork, etc.). If we win your legal case, we'll charge an additional 15% to cover these expenses.

Several factors determine your eligibility for compensation. According to EU regulations, only flights operated by EU airlines or departing from the EU qualify for compensation. Additionally, if you had a departure delay of over 3 hours but arrived at your destination less than 3 hours late, you may not be eligible. Compensation is based solely on the delay upon arrival and in this case you wouldn't be entitled to compensation. More details on the conditions for receiving compensation.

In accordance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (article 30, 31 and 36), it is possible to cancel your claim within 14 days of it having been submitted with us. Kindly refer to the Terms and Conditions document for more details.
