Can I Still Claim Flight Compensation For Past Flights?

Can You Claim Flight Compensation for Past Flights? Here’s What You Need to Know

✈️ Most People Think It's Too Late — It’s Not

If your flight was delayed or cancelled in 2023 (or even 2022), you might still be eligible for compensation — and airlines are hoping you don’t know that.

Under EU/UK261, passengers can claim up to €600 for flight disruptions — even years after the event.

🧾 How Long Do You Have to Claim?

It depends on where the flight took place and what airline operated it, but here’s a general rule of thumb:

Country	Time Limit to Claim
United Kingdom	6 years
Germany	3 years
France	5 years
Italy	2 years
Spain	5 years
Netherlands	2 years

✅ That means you might still be eligible to claim for flights from 2022 or 2023.

💡 What Flights Qualify?

You may qualify if your flight:

• Was delayed 3+ hours on arrival

• Was cancelled with short notice (less than 14 days)

• Departed from the EU/UK

• OR arrived in the EU/UK on an EU/UK airline

🚫 What Doesn’t Count?

• Weather or ATC-related delays

• Airport strikes (in some cases)

• Flights from non-EU airlines departing from non-EU countries
