Flight-Delay Compensation

🔵 Stable🕐 updated 2026-08-05 🔷 SkillSpec L3 pm-lifeadmin

Work out whether a delayed, cancelled, or overbooked flight likely owes you compensation — and draft the claim with the right rule cited. Use when asked about flight delay compensation, my flight was cancelled/delayed/overbooked, am I owed money for this flight, or how do I claim EU261. Produces an eligibility read against the likely-applicable regime (EU261/UK261/US DOT-style and airline duty-of-care), the amount band, the claim letter with flight details, and the evidence to attach — flagging what to verify because rules and thresholds change.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“My flight from Paris landed 4 hours late — am I owed EU261 compensation?”“Airline cancelled my flight with one day's notice. What can I claim?”“I got bumped off an overbooked flight — write me the claim.”“Missed my connection because the first leg was delayed. Am I entitled to anything?”“They blamed 'operational reasons' for a 5-hour delay — does that count?”

What to give it

The flight — airline, flight number, date, full route (from → to), and any connections
What happened — delayed (how many hours at final destination), cancelled (how much notice), denied boarding/overbooked, or missed connection
The times — scheduled vs actual departure/arrival
The reason given — weather, technical, staffing, strike, "operational"
Where you are based / flying from — this drives which regime applies

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

Identifies which regime likely applies from the route and airline
Measures delay at the final destination, not departure
Separates refund/rebooking, duty-of-care, and cash compensation
Tests the airline's stated reason against the "extraordinary circumstances" carve-out
Amounts and thresholds are given as bands and flagged "verify current rules"
The claim letter includes flight details, the rule, and a specific amount
An escalation path (ADR/regulator/claims) is included

⚠️ What it refuses to do

**Asserting an exact payout** as fixed — sums and thresholds change; give a band and say verify.
**Confusing a refund with compensation** — they're separate rights.
**Measuring departure delay** when the rule keys off arrival.
**Accepting "weather/operational" at face value** without testing whether it truly waives compensation.
**Vague "your flight was late, pay me"** with no flight number, times, or rule cited.
