Frequently asked questions

What if the airline ignores my letter?

Escalate to your country's National Enforcement Body (NEB). In the UK it's the CAA, in the EU each member state has one. This is free and airlines are legally required to cooperate. A list is available at the European Commission website.

What counts as an extraordinary circumstance?

Weather events, air traffic control strikes, security incidents, and political instability can qualify. Technical failures, crew shortages, and overbooking do NOT — the airline is liable regardless. Our letters address this distinction directly.

Does this work for US flights?

Yes. US DOT rules (14 CFR Part 250) cover involuntary denied boarding on US routes. Cancellations on US routes now require automatic refunds under the 2024 DOT final rule. We generate letters for both.

How recent does the flight need to be?

EU261 claims are typically valid for 2–6 years depending on your country (UK: 6 years, Germany: 3 years, France: 5 years). We recommend filing as soon as possible. Our tool accepts dates up to 3 years ago.
