Denied boarding — being bumped from an overbooked flight — is one of the clearest wins under EU261. If you had a valid ticket, checked in on time, and were denied boarding against your will, you're entitled to the same compensation as a cancelled flight: €250 for flights up to 1,500 km, €400 for intra-EU flights of 1,500–3,500 km, and €600 for longer flights. This is in addition to a refund or rerouting to your final destination. Airlines must first seek volunteers before involuntarily denying boarding; if they didn't, your claim is even stronger. Crucially, denied boarding compensation is NOT reduced by any rebooking delay — unlike cancellation compensation. ClaimPlane handles the claim end-to-end on a no-win-no-fee basis at 20% commission.
€250 for flights up to 1,500 km, €400 for 1,500–3,500 km, and €600 for flights over 3,500 km — the full amount, not reduced by any rebooking delay.
When you have a confirmed reservation, valid ticket, checked in on time, and were involuntarily denied boarding on an EU-regulated flight.
Yes. Under EU261 airlines must first call for volunteers before denying boarding involuntarily. If they didn't, your compensation claim is stronger.
Volunteers negotiate their own benefits with the airline and are not entitled to the fixed EU261 compensation. Only involuntarily denied passengers get the statutory amount.
Yes — in addition to compensation, you're entitled to a refund or rerouting to your final destination, plus care (meals, hotel) if needed.
20% of the compensation, only on success. No upfront fee, no hidden costs.
