The Lux List calculator

Is your airline supposed to pay you?

Delayed, cancelled or bumped? EU261 may owe you up to €600 — separately from any refund.

The flight

Start typing a city or airport code. Distance is worked out from the coordinates.

Luxair, Lufthansa, Ryanair, KLM, Air France, easyJet, Volotea, TAP, SWISS, BA and Aegean all count as European.

What went wrong

Delay is measured on arrival, not departure. A late take-off that lands on time does not count.

Airlines need not pay for genuinely extraordinary circumstances — but routine technical faults do not qualify, whatever they say at the desk.

Each passenger is owed the full amount, including children on their own ticket.

How this works. Regulation EC 261/2004 covers any flight leaving an airport in the EU, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland or the UK on any airline, and flights arriving there operated by a European airline. Compensation is €250 up to 1,500 km, €400 between 1,500 and 3,500 km and for intra-European flights over 1,500 km, and €600 for other flights over 3,500 km. Distance is great-circle between the two airports, as the regulation requires. Airport coordinates come from the open OurAirports dataset, covering roughly 3,200 commercial airports.

Compensation is separate from your right to a refund or rerouting, and separate from your right to food, drink and accommodation while you wait. Those apply even when no compensation is due.

On the 2026 reform. A revised EU261 was agreed in June 2026 and approved by Parliament in July 2026, but the new rules are not expected to apply until 2027. The three-hour threshold and the €250 to €600 amounts both survived. Flights disrupted today fall under the existing rules used here.

This is general information, not legal advice. Whether a specific disruption qualifies can turn on facts this tool cannot see. If an airline refuses and you believe it is wrong, national enforcement bodies and the Luxembourg passenger rights service can help.
