EU 261 · Compensation calculator
How much does the airline owe you?
Enter where you flew from and to. The calculator works out the distance, the amount under EU rules and whether the route is covered at all.
How the calculator works
Distance is measured as the shortest line between the two airports, as Regulation (EC) 261/2004 does. Up to 1,500 km the amount is €250, 1,500 to 3,500 km €400, and over 3,500 km €600. A flight within the EU over 1,500 km always gives €400.
With a connection on one booking, enter the first departure and final arrival airports: the distance from the first departure to the final destination and the delay at the end of the journey count.
When the amount can differ
- on flights over 3,500 km with a 3 to 4-hour delay, the amount can be €300
- for extraordinary circumstances, such as a storm or an air traffic control strike, the airline doesn’t pay
- flights from Serbia fall under Serbian law with the same amounts: see the flights from Serbia guide and the Air Serbia guide
