Can I claim for flight delay if my flight was 6 years ago? Does claiming compensation for delayed flight have any time limits? Can I get compensated for a delayed flight anytime?

Last updated on November 6, 2018

Unfortunately, Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 does not include time frame for flight claim application. There are different time limits for flight claim applications in various countries. For example, Belgium has 1 year, Germany 3 years, Luxemburg 10 years time frame to apply for flight claim compensation. The best way to claim is to choose the airline claim company from our Best Companies list.
