## Flight Compensation Calculator for Filipino Passengers — 2026

Interactive calculator to check compensation for **delay, cancellation, or denied boarding** based on the operating carrier of your flight. Covers **EU261** (KLM, Lufthansa, Air France, Iberia), **UK261** (BA, Virgin Atlantic), **Saudi GACA** (Saudia, Flynas — relevant for OFW Gulf flights), **Canada APPR** (Air Canada, WestJet — relevant for balikbayan to YVR/YYZ), and **US DOT** (American, Delta, United — refund + right-to-care, no fixed compensation). For Philippine carriers (Philippine Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Philippines AirAsia, CebGo), Philippine CAAP rules apply with right-to-care + refund obligations.

> **How to use:** identify the **operating carrier** on your boarding pass (the airline actually flying the metal, not the codeshare marketer), select the event (delay / cancellation / denied boarding), enter delay hours if applicable, pick the distance bracket and the cause. The calculator shows the applicable framework + estimated compensation + AirHelp deep link for free verification.

## Editorial note

Amounts are statutory and paid in the framework's currency (EUR / GBP / SAR / CAD). Calculation assumes optimal conditions (operating carrier confirmed eligible, cause within carrier's control). For disputed cases, AirHelp manages the claim for 25-35% of compensation obtained, only if the claim succeeds ([CAB](https://cab.gov.ph/)). No cost on loss.
