Free, copy-paste letters so you can claim airline compensation yourself — and keep all of it, instead of handing a third to a claim agency.

When a flight is delayed, cancelled, or overbooked, or your bag goes missing, you often have a clear legal right to money — a fixed amount under EU261 or UK261, an automatic refund under the 2024 US DOT rule, or proven-damages compensation under the Montreal Convention. Airlines rarely volunteer it, and "no win, no fee" claim companies keep 25–35% for sending a single letter. This site gives you that letter, with the exact citation and amount, so you can ask the airline directly.

Content is grouped into: compensation claims (delay, cancellation, denied boarding, missed connection), refunds & expenses (refund vs re-route, US DOT automatic refund, meals/hotel reimbursement), baggage (delayed, lost, damaged), know-your-rights references (the EU/UK amounts, the honest "extraordinary circumstances" carve-outs, US DOT rules, the Montreal Convention), and escalation if the airline refuses.

How we keep it accurate. Compensation amounts, distance bands, statute references, and deadlines are checked against primary sources — the regulation text, the UK CAA, the US DOT and eCFR, and ICAO/Montreal Convention figures — and updated when they change (for example, the Montreal Convention limits rose on 28 December 2024 and the US bumping caps and baggage liability rose in January 2025). Even so, air-passenger law changes and depends on your exact itinerary — treat everything here as general information, confirm current figures with the regulator, and get professional advice for a contested or high-value claim.
