What the site does

You enter your route, the airline and the delay or cancellation. The calculator works out which rules apply, the amount, the deadline and the reasons a claim may fail. Then it shows two next steps: claim it yourself with a ready letter, or compare the claims companies that do the paperwork for a share of the payout.

What the site is not

Comparison and information only

Hours Late is not a law firm and not a claims company. It does not file claims for you. The results are estimates from published rules and the details you enter. They are not legal advice. Airlines and courts decide each case.

Hours Late compares claims companies and links to them. It does not file claims, does not represent you and does not guarantee any outcome. Airlines and courts decide each case.

Where the rules come from

EU Regulation 261/2004, its UK version, the Canadian Air Passenger Protection Regulations and the US Department of Transportation refund rule. Each rules page gives the legal citation and links to the source. See the methodology.
