Under EU 261, a flight departing from Europe that arrives 3+ hours late can owe you up to €600 in cash. The AI checks the real cause of the delay and drafts the claim.

Legal citations

Any flight departing from Europe (e.g. Dan's Vienna to Qatar to Hong Kong flight) delayed 3+ hours qualifies for €600 cash even if you still fly. Gate agents will never offer this automatically.
