How do I claim flight delay compensation with AI?

Offered a $25 card after an overnight delay, Panos Ipeirotis had ChatGPT guide him through EU261, Norway's complaint body and court. The airline wired $4,760.36.

Steps

  1. Write down the flight number, date, scheduled and actual arrival times, and what the airline told you.
  2. Ask the AI which passenger-rights rules apply (EU261 depends on where the flight departed and the airline).
  3. Ask for the official claim route and draft your claim.
  4. Check the rules and amounts on the official EU or regulator site.
  5. Keep every email. Escalate to the national enforcement body if the airline refuses.
