How StrandedSOS Works
From entering your flight details to filing your claim — everything happens in minutes.
Step 1: Enter Your Flight Details
Tell us your airline, departure and arrival airports, flight date, and ticket class. We support all major airlines affected by the Middle East crisis.
Step 2: AI Analyzes Your Rights
Our AI engine determines which aviation regulation protects your specific flight. It considers your departure airport, airline nationality, and booking country to identify EU261, UK261, US DOT, or IATA rules.
Step 3: See Your Entitlements
Get a clear breakdown of what your airline owes you — from compensation amounts to meals, accommodation, and rebooking obligations. We also assess whether force majeure may limit cash compensation.
Step 4: Find Alternative Routes
Discover which routes are still open through alternative hubs like Istanbul, Cairo, and Muscat. See estimated times, costs, and available airlines for each option.
Step 5: File Your Claim
Optionally purchase a professional claim letter ($19) that cites the exact regulation, states your compensation amount, and sets a 14-day deadline for the airline to respond.
Step 6: Escalate If Needed
If the airline ignores your claim, we guide you on escalating to the relevant aviation authority — CAA (UK), national enforcement bodies (EU), or DOT (US).
