UK261 — claim letter to the airline

Answer a few questions. Your DIY claim letter assembles below for free preview, print, or download (.txt / .md). Nothing is uploaded in this local build. Official rules: CAA — Delays.

Pricing (not live yet): letter fee planned later (same ballpark as parking, ~£2.99–£4.99). Optional free AirHelp / Flightright affiliate links later — only if you approve joining those programmes (£0 to join). Full preview and download work free here.

Question flow: disruption → coverage → booking → flight details → delay & band → cause → expenses → your details.

1. Disruption type What happened?

2. Does UK261 look like it applies? Best match

This is a screening question only, not a legal determination. Self-transfer (separate tickets) usually means each ticket is assessed on its own.

3. Booking type How was the journey booked?

4. Flight & booking Operating airline Airline claims email or postal address Flight number Booking reference Ticket / e-ticket number(s) Departure airport Final destination airport Connections / via (if any) Passenger name(s) Number of passengers in this claim

5. Times & delay Scheduled departure Scheduled arrival (final destination) Actual departure (if known) Actual arrival at final destination Delay at final destination — hours … and minutes Distance band (CAA)

Use a great-circle distance tool if unsure. Compensation is per person and not linked to ticket price (CAA).

Approximate distance (km) — optional

6. Cause & facts Cause stated by the airline / staff Short timeline of what happened

7. Expenses (optional) Claim reasonable care expenses?

8. Your details & payment Full name Address line 1 Address line 2 Postcode Email Phone Letter date Account name (for payment) Sort code Account number
