Where can I ask about a flight delay or cancellation claim?

A flights community for delay, cancellation and compensation process questions — with strict requirements to include flight details and do your own research first.

r/Flights focuses on airlines, airports and flying problems, including delay and cancellation compensation questions. It is part of the broader travel community and expects specific flight data, not vague “will I get paid?” posts.

Where to ask

r/Flights

Best for: Delay, cancellation, rebooking and passenger-rights questions tied to a real itinerary.

Why it fits: Its public description: “r/Flights is a part of the r/travel community primarily focusing on flights, airlines, airports, frequent flyers, and general flying information.”

Rules to know before posting:

  • Read the FAQ and search before posting — avoid repetitive questions.
  • Be specific: airports, flight numbers, dates, airlines or alliances, and booking channel; state citizenship for passport or visa angles.
  • Consult official airline, airport or government sources first; say what you already tried.
  • Stay around to answer follow-ups.
  • No crystal-ball posts asking for vague predictions about prices, layovers or bag checks.
  • No spam, trading of miles or vouchers, begging, selling or surveys; AI-generated posts or comments are banned.
  • Be civil — racism, trolling and similar conduct are not allowed.

Read r/Flights’s current rules on Reddit

Before you post

  • Put the operating airline, flight number, origin, destination and delay length near the top.
  • For broader trip planning that is not flight-operations specific, start with the general travel community instead.
  • Compensation rules (for example EU261-style regimes) depend on itinerary and airline — say which law or contract of carriage you think applies, without expecting a lawyer-grade answer.
