TripRights exists because the rules on air passenger rights are public, but they are hard to find and harder to read, especially on a phone at a gate. This site puts the rules in plain language and ties each one to the official text.
What the site does
You tell the rights calculator where you flew from and to, with which airline, and what went wrong. It tells you which rule applies, what the law says you are owed, and what to do next. The pages on flight delays, cancellations, denied boarding and lost baggage explain the same rules in more detail.
The site covers four regimes:
- The EU and EEA
- The United Kingdom
- The United States
- Brazil
It also covers the Montreal Convention, which applies to baggage and some delays on international flights.
Who it is for
Anyone whose flight went wrong and who wants to know, without signing up for anything, whether they have a claim and how to make it. Most readers are travellers. Some are people helping a relative or a colleague.
What it is not
- It is not a law firm. Nothing here is legal advice.
- It is not a claims company. TripRights does not file claims, collect money or take a share of your compensation.
- It does not ask for your data. There are no accounts, no logins and no newsletter.
If you want help, the claims companies guide explains how those services work and what they cost, so you can decide for yourself.
How the site is run
TripRights is free to use and shows no advertising. The free route, claiming directly from the airline, always comes first: see how to claim and the claim letter template.
Editorial independence
What the pages say depends only on the official texts and court decisions they cite. If the law says you are owed money, the pages say so. If a claim is unlikely to succeed, they say that too. Where the official text is unclear or the courts disagree, the page says it is unclear.
Good to know
Every page shows the date it was last checked against the official sources. The sources and methodology page explains how that works.
