How much time do I have to submit my flight compensation claim?
The time limit for submitting a flight compensation claim varies depending on the country where the airline is based, and the locations of your itinerary.
In the UK, for example, passengers have up to six years to make a claim for a delayed or cancelled flight, while in other EU countries, the limit ranges between 6 months to 10 years.
For example, you have 5 years to submit your flight compensation claim in France, but you have only 1 year in Belgium.
