CLAIM COMPENSATION FOR A DELAYED FLIGHT
Law firm specialised in air passenger claims
No risk: we only charge if you win.
Check compensation*Filling in the form does not involve any cost or commitment to hire us.
We claim against every airline operating in Europe and review each case with real legal criteria, not automatic answers.
You may be entitled to financial compensation if all of the following conditions are met:
You arrived at your final destination 3 or more hours late.
Your flight is protected by Regulation 261/2004.
Your flight took place in the last 5 years.
The 3 hours are counted from the arrival time at the final destination (when the aircraft door opens), not from the departure time.
The final destination is always the one on your booking:
Your flight is protected by Regulation 261 when at least one of these situations applies:
In Spain, the time limit generally used to claim this type of incident is up to 5 years.
If the delay was caused by extraordinary circumstances that could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken, there may be no right to the fixed compensation. Other passenger rights, such as care, may still apply. It is best to review the specific case so the airline cannot claim an extraordinary circumstance when there was none.
Besides the cases above, at Wings to Claim we review and claim other delayed flights that Regulation 261 does not expressly cover, but which we can claim under the Montreal Convention and the interpretation being applied by the Spanish courts.
This includes, for example:
In these cases:
Wings to Claim has already obtained favourable judgments in this type of claim “outside Regulation 261”, which allows us to recover compensation in cases that other claim companies do not even review.
If you are unsure whether your flight is still in time or protected by Regulation 261/2004, send us your case. Our lawyers will review free of charge whether you are entitled to compensation for the delay.
Under Regulation (EC) 261/2004, compensation for a delayed flight is calculated on the distance of the full journey (including connections):
Fixed compensation by distance:
* These amounts are per person.
* Distance is calculated on the full journey booked on the same ticket, not on a single leg. That means from the first departure airport to the final destination on your booking, regardless of the number of connections.
* In some cases, if the airline offers alternative transport and the difference in arrival time is small, compensation can be reduced by 50% (to 125 €, 200 € or 300 €).

At Wings to Claim we don't treat your case as just another automatic claim.
We are a law firm specialised in air passenger claims, so we can study each incident properly, claim more items
when applicable, and truly support you throughout the process.
Not every air claim is limited to the €250, €400 or €600 under Regulation (EC) 261/2004. We check whether your case allows claiming more.
Depending on the incident, there may be additional claimable amounts. That is why we analyse every file individually.
We don't process claims in bulk. We identify every claimable item and claim the maximum legally due.
Compensation for luggage problems.
If your suitcase is lost, delayed or damaged, you can claim financial compensation based on the type of incident and the damage suffered.
Claim up to 1,519 SDR (around €1,800)
Claim the basic necessary expenses you had to cover while waiting for delivery, such as clothes, hygiene products or other essentials.
Claim repair costs or financial compensation.
Important: complete the PIR at the airport before leaving.
Compensation for delayed, cancelled, overbooked flights or missed connections.
For delays, cancellations, denied boarding or missed connections, compensation can be up to €600 per passenger, depending on flight distance and the circumstances.
Fill in a simple form with details of your delayed, cancelled, overbooked or missed-connection flight, or luggage problem. It is quick, 100% online and submitting it involves no cost or commitment.
A lawyer specialised in air claims reviews your documents, assesses the real viability of the case and clearly explains what you can claim and what compensation you may be entitled to.
We submit and defend your claim against the airline. If needed, we also take legal action in court.
You get real follow-up by email, phone or WhatsApp. You always know where your claim stands and what the next step is.
If we win, you receive the compensation and we collect our agreed fees. If we don't win, you pay nothing.
At Wings to Claim you pay nothing upfront. We only charge if we secure your compensation.
Our fees depend on whether the claim is resolved out of court or needs to go to trial.
If we reach an agreement with the airline without going to court, we charge 25% + VAT of the compensation obtained.
If the airline does not pay and court action is needed, we charge 40% + VAT of the compensation obtained.

You can claim, among other cases, a delayed flight if you arrive at your final destination 3 or more hours late; a cancelled flight; overbooking or denied boarding against your will; a missed connection when an incident on a leg of the same booking makes you late to the final destination; a flight brought forward by more than one hour, which may be treated as a cancellation; lost, delayed or damaged checked luggage; and a downgrade to a lower class.
In general, you may be entitled to delay compensation if you arrive at your final destination 3 or more hours late, provided there are no extraordinary circumstances. The arrival time that counts is when at least one aircraft door opens. For cancellations, compensation may also apply if the airline notifies you less than 14 days in advance, unless it offers alternative transport within the legal margins. Compensation may also apply if you are denied boarding against your will.
For delays, cancellations, overbooking or missed connections, standard compensation can be €250, €400 or €600 per passenger depending on flight distance. If the airline offers alternative transport and you arrive within certain margins, that compensation may be reduced by 50%. Reasonable documented expenses may also be claimable when legally applicable. For checked luggage, the amount depends on proven loss and the Montreal Convention generally sets a limit of 1,519 SDR per passenger. If you are downgraded, you can also claim a partial ticket refund.
If the airline proves an extraordinary circumstance, standard financial compensation may not apply, but you still have the right to assistance and, depending on the case, a refund or alternative transport. It is not enough for the airline to claim it: it must prove it and show it could not avoid the consequences even by taking all reasonable measures. Extraordinary circumstances can include weather that prevents safe flying, airspace closure, war or serious political unrest, an air-traffic controller strike or a security risk. Normal technical problems or the airline's own internal issues usually do not exempt it from paying compensation.
No. If you are entitled to a refund, the airline cannot force you to accept a voucher instead of money. A voucher is only valid if you expressly accept it. If your flight is cancelled, you can choose between a refund or alternative transport. And if there is a long delay and you decide not to travel, you can also request a refund, which must be made within 7 days. Before accepting a voucher, review its conditions carefully so you do not unknowingly limit better options.
To claim a delayed, cancelled or overbooked flight, a missed connection or a luggage incident, you normally need documents proving who travelled, which flight was booked, what happened and what expenses you incurred. Typically you provide each passenger's ID, the booking or ticket, boarding passes if you still have them, airline communications and expense receipts. For luggage problems, it is also very important to keep the PIR and all suitcase-related documents.
If your suitcase does not appear, arrives damaged or is delivered late, act quickly: before leaving the airport, go to the airline desk and complete the PIR (Property Irregularity Report). Then keep the PIR copy, luggage tag, boarding pass, booking, photos and receipts for related expenses. For damaged luggage, written complaint must be made within 7 days of receipt. For delayed luggage, the deadline is 21 days from delivery. If it has not appeared after 21 days, it can be claimed as lost. Compensation depends on proven damage and is generally subject to the 1,519 SDR per passenger limit.
At Wings to Claim you pay nothing upfront. We only charge if we obtain compensation for the passenger. If the claim is resolved out of court, we charge 25% + VAT of the compensation obtained; if court action is needed, we charge 40% + VAT. Simply put: if you don't win, you don't pay.
Yes. In Spain, delays, cancellations, overbooking and missed connections can generally be claimed within 5 years of the incident. For luggage problems you must act sooner: damaged luggage requires written protest within 7 days; delayed luggage within 21 days of delivery; and court action for luggage generally expires after 2 years. That is why you should claim as soon as possible and keep all documents.
If you already claimed to the airline and they did not reply within a month or the answer was unsatisfactory, you can file a free complaint with AESA. For cases covered by the EU Regulation, you must first claim to the airline within 5 years of the incident and then, if needed, go to AESA within the following year. AESA also states that its decision is binding on the airline.
