Flight compensation should be simple to check — so we made it free.

I built Owedly after watching too many people shrug off money that was theirs. A flight lands three hours late, everyone grumbles at the carousel, and that’s the end of it — even though, under the UK’s flight-delay rules, a good number of those passengers were owed a fixed sum they never claimed.

The problem isn’t that people don’t care. It’s that the rules feel like homework. Which regulation? Which airline counts? Was three hours enough? Owedly answers that in under a minute, with no name, no email, and no booking reference — just six plain questions and an honest verdict.

What Owedly actually does

Two things. First, the check: you tell us where you flew, who with, how far, how late, and roughly why — all from dropdowns, never free text — and we tell you whether you’re likely owed, likely not, or somewhere in between, along with the amount UK261 sets for that distance. It runs entirely in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.

Second, the data. We publish one page per route and one per airline, showing real punctuality and cancellation figures so you can see how often a given flight actually runs late. If our check says you might have a claim, we hand you off to a claims partner who can take it forward — or you can claim directly with the airline for free.

Where the numbers come from

Every statistic on this site is derived from official UK Civil Aviation Authority punctuality data (April 2026 at the moment). We show a single month at a time and label it clearly. We publish derived metrics — delay rates, cancellation rates, and our own compensation-likelihood index — with attribution; we don’t resell the raw CAA feed, in line with the CAA’s licensing terms. We don’t model trends or predict the future, and averages can hide the one flight that crossed the line — so we always send you back to the check for your specific case.

Our compensation-likelihood index

This is a metric the CAA does not publish: our estimate of the share of flights on a route or airline that suffered a compensation-relevant disruption (a 3-hour-plus delay or a cancellation), before accounting for cause. It’s a guide, not a guarantee — the outcome of any claim depends on the specific facts of your flight.

What we won’t do

No fake reviews. No countdown timers or manufactured urgency. No selling your data — we don’t collect the personal kind in the first place. If we earn a referral fee when you claim through a partner, that’s how the site stays free, and any fee the partner charges is shown to you up front. This is a page about your money; we treat it that way.

A word of honesty

Owedly gives you a well-informed estimate, not a legal ruling. Whether a specific delay qualifies can turn on details only the airline holds. Use our verdict to decide whether it’s worth pursuing — then let the claims process confirm it. We are not affiliated with or endorsed by the CAA or any airline.
