Compensation depends on where you departed and how far you flew. Select your route to see exactly which regulation applies, what airlines do to resist claims on that corridor, and how much you could be owed.

Compensation isn't just about which airline you flew — it's about where you departed and how far you flew.
EC261 and UK261 both use a three-tier distance system. The same rules apply — only the currency differs (euros for EU departures, pounds for UK departures):
For long-haul flights departing an EU airport, the threshold is >3,500 km to destinations outside the EU. For intra-EU long-haul, the €400 tier applies. Our route pages show the exact applicable tier for each corridor.
Routes are directional. A flight from London Heathrow to New York (LHR→JFK) is covered by UK261. The return flight from JFK to LHR is not covered by UK261 or EC261 — it departs from a US airport and falls under US consumer protection rules (which generally do not provide equivalent cash compensation). Our route pages cover departures from UK and EU airports only.
Airport pages tell you what causes disruptions at a specific airport. Route pages go further: they show you the airline-specific resistance tactics on that exact corridor, how delay causes interact with the route's distance tier, and the precise legal arguments that apply when your claim is denied. For example, LHR→JFK delays caused by NATS flow control have a different legal profile than LGW→BCN delays caused by easyJet rotational cascade — even though both departures are from UK airports.
