Vylet: Flight Delay Claims

Flight delayed 3+ hours or cancelled in Europe? You may be owed up to €600. Check your flight in seconds — free, offline, no sign-up.

Flight delayed by three hours or more, cancelled at short notice, or were you bumped from an overbooked flight? Under European rules (Regulation (EC) No 261/2004) the airline may owe you €250, €400 or €600 in cash — on top of any refund. Vylet tells you in seconds whether you're entitled and how much.

HOW IT WORKS • Pick where you flew from and to — over 3,000 airports worldwide, works offline • Tell us what happened: delay, cancellation or denied boarding • Answer two or three quick questions — only the ones that matter for your case • See the amount right away, together with the reasoning behind it

WHAT VYLET CHECKS • Whether your flight is covered: departures from the EU, EEA, Switzerland and the UK on any airline, and flights into Europe on European airlines • The amount by distance: €250 up to 1,500 km, €400 up to 3,500 km or within Europe, €600 beyond that • The three-hour threshold for delays, measured at your final destination • How much notice you got of a cancellation, and whether a replacement flight halves the amount • Extraordinary circumstances such as bad weather or air traffic control strikes — the only lawful reason for an airline to refuse • Flights from the UK under UK261, with amounts in pounds

PAST FLIGHTS COUNT TOO You can usually claim for flights from the past few years — the time limit depends on the country.

FILE A CLAIM If you're entitled, one tap takes you to a partner claims service that deals with the airline for you. Such services usually work on a no-win, no-fee basis and share part of their commission with us — that's how checking your flight in Vylet stays free.
