Flight delay compensation

Sometimes, air travel can present you with unpleasant surprises. Flight delays are a fact of life and occur more often than people think. If you experienced a delayed flight, you may be entitled to up to €600 in compensation under Regulation (EC) No 261/2004.

Can I get compensated for a delayed flight?

You can get compensated if:

You arrived at your final destination more than 3 hours late.
You departed from the EU or arrived at an EU airport (when the airline is an EU-based carrier).
Your check-in for the flight was on time (usually not less than 45 minutes before the flight).
Your flight was less than 3 years ago as many countries have a flight delay application limit that is less than 3 years.
The airline is responsible for the delay (the circumstances for the delay were under the airline’s control).
Whether the airline provided you with food or vouchers is irrelevant.

Made me aware of that I could get compensation for the delay. The registration process could have been easier and the fee to Ifdelayed.com is high.

Great company to work with

Ifdelayed is a great company to work with. They help our clients when they get delayed at the airport. They have a claim form with user-friendly UI that’s easy to follow when trying to file a claim. Their claim processing times are quick, and they push hard to win every claim.

Amazing service – Thanks ifdelayed

I used ifdelayed for the first time two weeks ago. I filled in the simple form 2minutes while at the airport being delayed. My plane was 5 hours late and me and my family received 18.000 SEK (1.700 euro) in my account just two weeks later , ifdelayed did all the work. Super simple – great service!!

Jonas and his family saved €720

We´re happy we bought Ifdelayed Premium annual plan. My family and I received €2400 for a delayed flight from New York recently and we got to keep 100% of the commission thanks to Ifldelayed Premium.
