Flight Delay Compensation Letter
Claim up to £520 compensation under UK261/2004 — for delayed or cancelled flights departing from or arriving in the UK.
Write My Letter Now →A flight delay compensation letter is the most effective way to claim up to £520 per person for flights delayed by more than three hours, cancelled without adequate notice, or where boarding was denied. Under UK Regulation 261/2004, passengers on flights departing from a UK airport — or arriving in the UK on a UK or EU carrier — are entitled to fixed compensation regardless of the ticket price paid.
Airlines routinely reject or ignore compensation claims, citing 'extraordinary circumstances' even when the delay was caused by factors within their control — such as technical faults or crew scheduling issues. A formal written claim letter that cites the correct regulation and the specific compensation amount you are owed is far more effective than an online claim form.
PostRight generates a professionally worded flight delay compensation letter citing UK261/2004, the specific compensation tier applicable to your flight, and a clear deadline for the airline to respond. Your letter is printed and posted via Royal Mail First Class.
