What a flight!

Calculator

Flight compensation calculator

Work out what your disrupted flight is worth in about two minutes. No account, no fee, no data sent to the airline unless you send it.

What the calculator needs

  • The flight number and the date.
  • Where you departed and your final destination.
  • What went wrong — delay, cancellation or denied boarding.
  • The reason the airline gave, if it gave one.

What it works out

The great-circle distance between your first departure and final destination, which sets the band; whether the delay or cancellation crosses the thresholds; and whether the reason given is the kind of extraordinary circumstance that blocks payment.

What you get

A verdict in plain language, the estimated amount per passenger, the provisions it rests on, and a formal claim letter with a 14-day deadline that you can edit and send.

Domande frequenti

Is the amount guaranteed?
No. It is an estimate based on the rules and what you told us; the airline or a regulator decides the outcome.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Nothing is stored beyond your own browser session.
Can I check an old flight?
Yes, and it is often worth it — claim deadlines run from two to six years depending on the country.
