Question 9

What is UK261 and how is it different from EC 261?

Accepted Answer

After Brexit, the UK retained passenger rights through UK261, which mirrors EU Regulation EC 261/2004 for flights departing from the UK. UK261 sets compensation in pounds (£220, £350, or £520) while EC 261 uses euros (€250, €400, or €600) for eligible EU departures.

Question 10

Does UK261 apply to my flight?

Accepted Answer

UK261 generally applies to flights departing from UK airports. EC 261/2004 may apply to flights departing from EU airports, and in some cases to flights arriving in the EU on EU or UK carriers. The regulation that applies depends on your route and airline.

Question 11

Can I claim for a delayed flight under UK261?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your flight arrived at its final destination more than three hours late, and the delay was not caused by extraordinary circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation under UK261 or EC 261/2004, depending on which regulation applies to your journey.

Question 12

How long do I have to claim flight compensation in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Time limits depend on where your claim is pursued. In England and Wales, you generally have six years to bring a claim. We recommend starting as soon as possible while flight records and evidence are easier to obtain.
