FAQ

Common Questions Answered

Most users complete the full wizard in under 4 minutes, including document upload. The process is streamlined to collect only essential information about your flight and disruption.

No. You can submit without documents and attach them later, but complete documents improve processing speed and claim success rates. At minimum, keep your boarding pass and proof of delay.

No upfront fee. We operate on a no-win-no-fee model and charge only on successful compensation. You pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

EU261 requires a minimum 3-hour delay at your final destination to qualify for compensation. The delay is measured from scheduled to actual arrival time, not departure time.

Compensation amounts under EU261 range from €250-€600 depending on flight distance: €250 for flights up to 1,500 km, €400 for 1,500-3,500 km, and €600 for flights over 3,500 km. The amount applies per qualifying passenger.

Time limits vary by country. Most EU countries allow 3-6 years from the disruption date. Some countries like Germany allow up to 10 years. Check your local laws, but always file as soon as possible to strengthen your claim.

Not necessarily. MyFlightClaim handles the entire legal process for you, including negotiation with airlines and formal complaint procedures if needed. Our team are licensed legal professionals.

Bad weather is recognized as an "extraordinary circumstance" that can reduce or eliminate compensation, but only if proven by the airline. Technical failures and crew scheduling are usually NOT extraordinary circumstances and do not block claims.

Yes! As long as the disruption is within your country's statute of limitations (typically 3-10 years). Older claims face more airline resistance, so gathering documentation becomes more important. Act quickly regardless.

Accepting rebooking on another flight does NOT waive your right to compensation. Accepting a refund may be different - consult with us before accepting any settlement offer to ensure you get the full amount entitled.

EU261 covers all airlines operating flights from EU/EEA airports (including non-EU carriers like United, American, Delta). EU carriers are covered on all routes worldwide. Low-cost carriers (Ryanair, easyJet, Wizz) are fully covered.

If an airline refuses compensation, we file formal complaints with national enforcement bodies (NEBs) or pursue alternative dispute resolution. Most cases settle before formal proceedings need to begin.

Yes. Boarding passes are ideal, but we can work with email confirmations, airline records, credit card statements, or witness statements. Airport databases and flight tracking services also provide supporting evidence.
