CheckFlightPayouts is a community registry of flights where passengers have reported receiving a payout from the operating carrier. Search your flight to see whether other passengers were paid, and share your own payout to help the next person.

The whole process
Two ways to use the site
Payout Checker Passenger
Checking a flight
- SearchEnter your flight number and date on the Flight Payout Registry page.
- See what others reportedIf a passenger has shared a payout for that flight, you will see the reason, the number of passengers who received a payout and the status.
- Check your eligibilityUse the Check Eligibility button to see whether you may qualify through one of our partners. This step is optional.
No result? That does not mean a payout is impossible. It means nobody has shared one for that flight yet.
Community Helper Passenger
Sharing your payout
- Fill in the formGive your flight number and date, the operating carrier, the reason for the disruption, how many passengers received a payout, and your email address.
- We review itA moderator checks your details and checks your email address with a trusted third-party verification service. For delayed flights, they also check flight records.
- It goes liveIf everything checks out, your entry appears in the registry as Community Reported.
Want the green badge? Reply to your confirmation email with a redacted screenshot or PDF of the approval letter from your operating carrier. Once a moderator has checked it, your entry becomes Payout Verified, and we delete the entire email and any attachments once it has been checked.
Flights must have taken place more than 30 days ago and within the last 6 years, so the registry stays accurate.

Good to know
- Reports are shared by passengers. A report is not a guarantee that you will receive a payout.
- Check Eligibility is an optional step. We do not handle claims ourselves. If you choose to use the link, the partner assesses and handles your claim under the partner’s own terms.
- Check Eligibility buttons are partner links and are adverts. If you use one and your claim succeeds, we may earn a commission. Please check the partner’s terms and fees before you proceed.
- CheckFlightPayouts is independent of airlines and is not affiliated with any airline or operating carrier.
- Your email address is never published. It is used only to verify your entry and to contact you about it. See our Privacy Policy.
- Spotted a mistake? Contact us at moderator@checkflightpayouts.com. We will review it promptly and correct or remove the entry if it is wrong.
