Flight compensation calculator

Pick your airports, airline type and what happened. We calculate the great-circle distance and tell you whether UK261 or EU261 applies and the fixed amount.

Almost every flight between the UK or Ireland and the Canary Islands is between 2,500 and 3,300 km, so the usual amount is £350 (UK261) or €400 (EU261) per passenger, including children with their own seat.

This is an estimate. The airline can refuse if it proves extraordinary circumstances.
