FAQ

Most asked questions

Short answers to the most common refund and compensation questions.

How do I know if I am entitled to compensation for a delayed or cancelled trip?Most asked
Your eligibility depends on the type of disruption (cancellation, delay or denied boarding) and the applicable regulation. Use the quick eligibility check to get a preliminary result in under a minute. Under EU 261, passengers may be entitled to compensation when flights are delayed by at least three hours or cancelled at short notice. Similar regulations exist for trains, buses and ferries.
What is the difference between a Guided Claim and We Handle It for You?Most asked
The Guided Claim (US$5) provides a clear strategy, contacts and message templates so you can submit the claim yourself. The Full Service option (US$20) has the team submit and follow up on your claim until a resolution is reached. Both are one-time fees with no percentage-based cuts, so you keep 100% of any compensation.
Do US or Canadian regulations provide compensation for delays?Most asked
In the United States, airlines must refund unused tickets or fees when flights are cancelled or significantly changed, but there is no mandatory cash compensation for delays. In Canada, the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) require airlines to compensate passengers for delays or cancellations within their control, with amounts varying by flight length and whether the airline is large or small.
