Create a Draft Claim Letter You Can Edit and Send Yourself

This tool helps you generate a clear, professional draft claim letter you can review, customize, and submit yourself.

What This Tool Does
The claim letter generator creates an editable draft letter that references the appropriate passenger‑rights regulation based on your situation:
- USDOT (United States) for involuntary denied boarding
- EU261 (European Union) for qualifying EU flights
- UK261 (United Kingdom) under UK passenger‑rights law
The letter uses neutral, professional language that airlines are accustomed to receiving.
🇺🇸 USDOT Flight Compensation Claims (U.S. Flights)
For flights departing the United States, airlines are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) to provide compensation in certain cases of involuntary denied boarding caused by overbooking.
Airlines often ask passengers to submit a written request before compensation is processed. The USDOT‑specific draft letter produced by this tool:
- References the applicable U.S. regulation
- Clearly identifies the affected flight
- Requests information on the compensation process
This can be helpful for passengers who were bumped from a flight and need a clear starting point for a USDOT compensation claim.
🇪🇺 EU261 and 🇬🇧 UK261 Claims
For flights covered by EU261 or UK261, compensation eligibility typically depends on delay length, flight distance, and airline responsibility.
The draft letter includes:
- A reference to the relevant regulation
- Flight details for context
- A neutral request for compensation
You can edit or adjust wording before sending, depending on your specific circumstances.
