Question 1

How much can I claim for a delayed or cancelled flight?

Accepted Answer

Up to €600 per passenger under EU Regulation 261/2004, £520 under UK261, or ₪3,530 under Israeli aviation law — depending on your flight distance and disruption type. These amounts are set by regulation and are unrelated to your ticket price.

Question 2

How far back can I claim flight compensation?

Accepted Answer

Up to 6 years in England and Wales, 5 years in Scotland and France, 4 years in Israel, and 3 years in most EU countries from the date of the disrupted flight. Flights from 2022 and 2023 may still be within the window.

Question 3

What does no win, no fee mean for flight compensation?

Accepted Answer

You never pay anything upfront or out of pocket. ClaimVelo's 30% fee is only deducted from the compensation we recover for you. If we don't win, you owe us absolutely nothing.

Question 4

What flights qualify for compensation under EU261?

Accepted Answer

Flights departing any EU airport, or flights arriving in the EU on an EU-based airline. You may claim if your flight was delayed 3 or more hours, cancelled with less than 14 days notice, or you were denied boarding due to overbooking.

Question 5

How long does a flight compensation claim take?

Accepted Answer

Most airlines settle within 2–8 weeks. If the airline disputes the claim, escalation to authorities or court can take 3–6 months. ClaimVelo handles everything — you just wait for the payment.
