Flight Delay or Cancellation Compensation Letter

A flight delay or cancellation compensation letter is the most effective way to claim up to £520 per person for flights delayed by more than three hours, cancelled without adequate notice, or where boarding was denied. Under UK Regulation 261/2004 and EU Regulation 261/2004, passengers on flights departing from a UK or EU airport, or arriving in the UK on a UK or EU carrier, are entitled to fixed compensation regardless of the ticket price paid.

Airlines routinely reject or ignore compensation claims, citing extraordinary circumstances even when the delay or cancellation was caused by factors within their control, such as technical faults or crew scheduling issues. A formal written claim letter that cites the correct regulation and the specific compensation amount you are owed is far more effective than an online claim form.

PostRight generates a professionally worded flight delay or cancellation compensation letter citing UK261 and EU261, the specific compensation tier applicable to your flight, and a clear deadline for the airline to respond. Your letter is printed and posted via Royal Mail First Class. Airlines process thousands of compensation claims through online portals designed to minimise payouts. A formal letter arriving by post, citing the regulation correctly and including a specific compensation figure, is processed through a different internal channel and gets taken more seriously.
