Claim deadline
The CAA says you can usually claim up to 6 years after the flight in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and 5 years in Scotland. If the airline refuses, use its approved ADR scheme or the CAA.

If none of these rules covers your flight, the Montreal Convention (Art. 19) may still let you claim proven costs caused by an international delay, up to 6,303 SDR per passenger, within 2 years.
