Q: Can I claim for flights that happened years ago?

Yes. In the UK, you have 6 years to claim. In most EU countries, the limitation period is 3 years. Some countries allow up to 5 years.

Q: Can airlines refuse compensation by claiming extraordinary circumstances?

Airlines often cite extraordinary circumstances, but many rejections are invalid. Technical faults, crew shortages, and IT failures are NOT extraordinary circumstances per EU court rulings. Genuine exceptions include severe weather, ATC strikes, and security threats.
