What went wrong?
1/4⚠️ Portugal: 1-year deadline — act immediately
If you flew from Lisbon (LIS), you only have 1 yearfrom the date of the delayed or cancelled flight to file a claim under Portuguese law. This is the shortest statute of limitations in Europe. If your delay was more than a year ago and you departed from Lisbon, it may be too late — but it's worth checking, as some enforcement bodies interpret the rule differently.
If you flew from Paris CDG, you have 5 years under French law — no urgency required.
