About this tool
What does flight delay claim letter do?
For the traveler whose flight was delayed, cancelled, or downgraded and whose airline is stonewalling. Paste the flight details plus what the airline offered plus the jurisdiction and get back a factually anchored EU/UK 261, US DOT, Canada APPR, or Brazil ANAC compensation demand letter that cites the right regulation, rebuts the airline's stated denial reason with the specific case-law carve-out (Wallentin-Hermann, van der Lans, Huzar v Jet2.com), lays out the jurisdiction-specific escalation ladder with a hard response deadline, and includes PII-safe paste guidance plus a safety_notes receipt so you can see exactly which passenger details the model stripped and any fabrication guards it fired.
How does Flight Delay Claim Letter work?
Paste your flight number, route, scheduled and actual times, disruption type (delay, cancellation, downgrade, denied boarding), what the airline offered, the airline's stated reason if any, and the jurisdiction that governs your route. One AI pass returns a subject line, a formal demand letter, a rebuttal paragraph tied to a specific case-law carve-out when the airline's reason maps to one, the statutory entitlement figure, an escalation ladder ending in small claims court, a computed response deadline, and a receipts panel of stripped PII and fabrication guards.
What flight delay compensation am I entitled to under EU 261?
Regulation (EC) No 261/2004 sets fixed compensation for arrival delays of 3 hours or more at your final destination: EUR 250 for flights up to 1,500 km, EUR 400 for intra-EU flights over 1,500 km or other flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km, and EUR 600 for flights over 3,500 km. UK 261 mirrors these tiers in pounds sterling. Flight Delay Claim Letter computes the correct tier from your route and cites Article 7 by name.
How do I rebut the airline's 'extraordinary circumstances' denial?
Airlines lean on the extraordinary circumstances clause but the courts have carved it back. Routine technical failures fall inside carrier control per Wallentin-Hermann v Alitalia (Case C-549/07). Crew shortages are internal per van der Lans v KLM (Case C-257/14). Vague weather claims require contemporaneous METAR proof per Huzar v Jet2.com. Wildcat strikes of the airline's own staff are within control per Krusemann v TUIfly. The tool names the airline's exact denial phrase, quotes the matching case, and states the carve-out in one paragraph.
Do I get compensation for flight delays in the US?
US law does not set fixed cash compensation for delay or cancellation. The DOT's April 2024 refund rule (14 CFR Part 259) entitles you to a full refund of the unused ticket plus reimbursement of ancillary fees when a flight is cancelled or significantly delayed (3 hours domestic, 6 hours international). Denied boarding on a US carrier is covered by 14 CFR Part 250 with fixed multiples of your one-way fare up to USD 1,550. The tool never invents a US DOT dollar figure for a delay.
How much does AirHelp take of my compensation?
Third-party claim services like AirHelp, Flightright, and ClaimCompass typically charge a success fee of 25 to 35 percent of the compensation they recover, with additional legal fees when the case escalates to court. Flight Delay Claim Letter is not a claim service. You pay 15 or 30 produde tokens once and the letter is yours to send under your own name. You keep whatever the airline pays and the tool does not touch your bank details or take a cut.
What is the response deadline for an airline to reply to a compensation claim?
Deadlines are jurisdiction specific. UK 261 gives the airline 8 weeks (56 days) via ADR schemes. US DOT requires airlines to substantively respond to written complaints within 60 days per 14 CFR 259.7. Canadian APPR requires a written response within 30 days per SOR/2019-150 s. 19. Brazilian consumidor.gov.br gives airlines 10 business days. The tool computes the deadline date from today plus the correct statutory window and prints it as a red-outlined chip on the letter.
Which jurisdictions does it cover?
Five regimes. EU 261/2004 covers flights departing an EU airport or arriving into the EU on an EU carrier. UK 261 covers UK-departure flights on a UK or EU carrier. US DOT (14 CFR 259 and 14 CFR 250) covers US carriers to or from US airports. Canadian APPR (SOR/2019-150) covers flights into, out of, or within Canada. Brazilian ANAC Resolution 400/2016 covers Brazilian carriers. Routes outside these five regimes are refused with a pointer to a passenger-rights firm, not mishandled.
Will the tool invent facts about my flight or the airline's reason?
No. The letter can only cite what you paste. If you leave the airline's stated reason blank, the rebuttal paragraph is omitted rather than filled with a guess about weather or ATC. If you did not mention hotel receipts, missed meetings, or family details, the tool will not add them. Every PII field stripped (PNR, e-ticket number, passport digits) and every fabrication guard fired is logged in a receipts panel below the letter so you can see the pass ran.
Which tier should I pick, Quick or Deep?
Pick Quick (15 tokens on Gemini Flash Lite) for a stack of routine claims: 220 to 320 word letter, top PII fields stripped, one primary regulation cited, condensed 2 to 3 rung escalation ladder. Pick Deep (30 tokens on Gemini Flash) for the EUR 600 flight you actually want to collect: 380 to 520 word letter, full case-law rebuttal, layered Montreal Convention Article 19 or 22 where applicable, and the complete 4 to 5 rung jurisdiction-specific escalation ladder.
What does it cost?
From 15 tokens. Pick a tier on the form above. Produde tokens are a prepaid platform credit; buy them once and spend on any tool.
Do I pay if a run doesn't complete?
No. You only pay for results. If a run can't finish, its full token cost stays in your wallet automatically.
