Free flight check. Compensair handles the claim and keeps a share only if it succeeds.
How far back
In England and Wales, claims can usually be made for flights up to six years ago, so it's worth checking older trips.
What doesn't qualify
Severe weather, air traffic control restrictions and security issues usually count as extraordinary circumstances. You still have the right to care, such as meals and a hotel, and to rerouting or a refund.
