Generator (1)

Generator · $4.60

Flight Disruption Compensation & Reimbursement Letter

One letter for delay, cancellation, denied boarding, missed connection, or a standalone baggage claim — tailored to EU261, UK261, US, or Australian rules, plus a separate duty-of-care reimbursement demand if the airline didn't cover meals/hotel/transport.

Covers delay, cancellation, overbooking, missed connection, lost/damaged baggage, and duty of care through one branching flow. Jurisdiction options: EU, UK, US, Australia, or Not Sure — EU and UK guidance is the most developed today; the US and Australia paths are intentionally general pending further regional build-out.

Flight Delays & Cancellations 4 regional resources

The official passenger-rights basis for a delay/cancellation claim, one source per region — this is "how to claim," not "who regulates" (see Aviation Authorities below for that): US DOT Air Consumer, UK CAA "Am I entitled to compensation?", EU Your Europe air passenger rights, Australia ACCC travel delays & cancellations.

See all Flight Delay & Cancellation Resources →
Airline Complaint Portals 3 airlines

Direct links to airline complaint pages, organized by airline, not by country: Qantas, Jetstar, Virgin Australia.

See all Airline Complaint Portals →
Aviation Authorities 4 regulators

Who regulates the airline — a distinct function from Flight Delays & Cancellations above ("how to claim"). Safety oversight, economic regulation, and cross-border complaint routing, not blurred together: FAA (US), UK CAA consumer protection enforcement, EASA (EU), ECC-Net cross-border EU complaint routing.

Lost & Damaged Baggage 2 resources

Filing a Property Irregularity Report (PIR) and the treaty that caps airline liability: IATA's PIR filing guidance, and the Montreal Convention (MC99) liability text.

Travel Insurance 3 resources

A separate claim from any direct airline claim — its own policy terms, its own process, and its own dispute body if it's mishandled: UK Financial Ombudsman Service, EU FIN-NET, US NAIC state insurance regulators.

Guides

23 in-depth guides — grouped by topic rather than by a single region, since most cover regulatory ground that spans jurisdictions.

U.S. Passenger Rights Audit: DOT Rule Enforcement and Performance Breakdown of Legacy vs. LCC Carriers

How the DOT's automatic refund rule actually works, what counts as a "significant change," and how legacy carriers, Southwest, and ultra-low-cost carriers compare on disruption handling.

Passenger Rights in the U.S.: What the Airline Owes You During Overbooking

Cash compensation isn't the whole picture. Airlines also owe bumped passengers meals, hotels, and transport — regardless of cause. Here's what you're entitled to and how to claim it if they refuse.

Automatic Refunds and the New DOT Rules for Significant Flight Delays

Airlines can't force you into a travel voucher when your flight is significantly delayed. Here's exactly how to assert your right to a cash refund instead, step by step.

EC 261/2004 Regulatory Guide: Compensation Parameters, Strike Jurisprudence, and European Ancillary Fee Legality

How EU261 compensation tiers actually work, why the CJEU says staff strikes don't excuse airlines from paying, and what the law says about cabin baggage fees.

Claims Resolution under EU Regulation EC 261/2004: Legacy Networks vs. Ultra Low-Cost Carriers

Ryanair and Wizz Air make it procedurally harder to use a claims agent. Spain fined five carriers €179 million over cabin bag fees — and the European Commission pushed back. Here's the actual state of play.

Extraordinary Circumstances and EC261/UK261 Flight Delay Jurisprudence

A mechanical fault isn't automatically an excuse. The CJEU has drawn a strict line between what counts as extraordinary and what's just the ordinary risk of running an airline.

UK261 Consumer Framework: Passenger Entitlements, CAA Oversight, and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Audits

How UK261 works post-Brexit, why the CAA won't adjudicate your individual claim, and which ADR scheme — CEDR or AviationADR — actually covers your airline.

Civil Aviation Authority Oversight and ADR Regimes: British Airways vs. UK Low-Cost Carriers

Most UK carriers belong to CEDR or AviationADR for free dispute resolution. Jet2 doesn't — here's exactly what that means for your claim, and how EasyJet's disputes differ from BA's.

Australian Sky Regulatory Regime: ACCC Enforcement, Consumer Law Rights, and Systemic Compensation Deficits

Australia has no fixed flight compensation law like EU261 or UK261. Here's how the ACCC actually enforces the Australian Consumer Law instead — and what the Qantas "ghost flights" case really cost the airline.

Why Do Airlines Overbook Flights? The Revenue Algorithm Behind the Chaos

Airlines overbook flights on purpose, not by accident. Here's how the no-show prediction algorithms actually work, when they fail, and how to protect yourself from being bumped.

How Much Do Airlines Pay for Overbooked Flights? Limits and the 400% Rule

The exact DOT compensation tiers for involuntary denied boarding — $1,075 and $2,150 caps, how the 200%/400% math works, and two fully worked examples.

Tarmac Delay Fines: American Airlines, Frontier, and the Interline Gap

A $4.1M fine against American and $1.5M against Frontier show what actual DOT enforcement looks like — and why a stranded ULCC passenger waits longer than a stranded legacy-carrier one.

Tarmac Delays: Federal Limits and Passenger Care Requirements

An aircraft can't legally sit on the tarmac indefinitely — 3 hours domestic, 4 hours international, with mandatory food, water, and updates along the way.

Mandatory Duty of Care: Hotel, Meal, and Transit Rights During Delays

Weather, volcanic ash, ATC strikes — none of it excuses an airline from feeding and housing you. The McDonagh v. Ryanair ruling makes that obligation unconditional and unlimited.

The 1999 Montreal Convention: Carrier Liability Limits, SDR Calculations, and Baggage Claims Protocol

The exact SDR liability caps for international baggage and passenger delay claims, updated December 2024, plus the strict deadlines that determine whether you keep your legal claim at all.

Lost Luggage Compensation Guide: DOT Limits and the Montreal Convention

Your baggage compensation cap depends entirely on whether your flight is domestic or international — $4,700 under DOT rules, or 1,519 SDR under the Montreal Convention. Here's how to tell which applies.

When Is Luggage Officially Considered Lost? Timelines and Statutory Rights

Your bag isn't "lost" the moment it doesn't show up on the carousel — it's legally "delayed" for up to 21 days. Here's exactly when your rights change, and what to claim at each stage.

Airport Immediate Action Protocol: How to Properly File a P.I.R.

Leaving the arrivals hall without a stamped Property Irregularity Report can quietly cost you your entire baggage claim. Here's exactly what to do before you exit the terminal.

Airline Baggage Depreciation Rules and Item Valuation Mechanics

Airlines don't pay retail price for lost items — they pay depreciated actual cash value. Here's the formula they use, and how to document your claim so the depreciation cut is fair.

Non-Covered Items: What Airlines Will Never Pay For in Checked Baggage

Cash, jewelry, electronics, and medication packed in a checked bag are excluded from airline liability by contract — before you fly, know what to keep in your carry-on instead.

Codeshare Legal Audits: Marketing vs. Operating Carrier Liability and Transatlantic Jurisdictional Applicability

On a codeshare flight, the airline you booked with and the airline that actually flew you can be different companies — and only one of them is legally liable for your claim.

Codeshare Flights and Alliance Networks: Jurisdiction and Carrier Liability under the Montreal Convention

Article 33 of the Montreal Convention gives you five different places you can legally file a claim on an international codeshare itinerary — including, sometimes, a country neither airline is based in.

Missed Connections, Codeshares, and Technical Evidences in Delay Claims

A 2-minute delay on your first flight can still entitle you to full compensation if it costs you an 11-hour delay at your final destination — but only if you booked the right way.
