Common questions for this route

Which framework should I check for London to Tampa?+

Because this journey departs from the United Kingdom, the preliminary UK261 path is relevant. Final eligibility still depends on the disruption, final-arrival timing, notice or rerouting facts, and the airline-recorded cause.

Does the 7,111 km route distance guarantee compensation?+

No. Distance helps identify a potential statutory band only after the preliminary rule path, disruption type, timing, notice or rerouting facts, and airline-recorded cause have been assessed.

Which airline should I enter in the calculator?+

Enter the airline that operated the disrupted flight. The ticket seller, marketing airline or code-share partner may be different, so keep the itinerary and flight notice.

What evidence should I save before I contact the airline?+

Keep the booking confirmation, boarding pass if available, the airline's disruption notice, final-arrival timing, rerouting offer and receipts for reasonable expenses. Avoid uploading sensitive documents to this site.
