 claim Kuwait Airways delayed flight

  1. Contact a Lexority attorney to tell you how long the Kuwait Airways flight has been delayed without any doubt. Take in to account that the following webpages are not always accurate and need a payment record.
  2. Use the web Flight Stats where if you register you can see the Kuwait Airways status of all flights including those of years ago.
  3. Another way is to go to Flight Radar where you can see the last seven days Kuwait Airways flight delays without registering. After registration you can also see delayed flights from up to two years ago.

Note: When the Kuwait Airways delay is very close to three hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% accurate, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the law dictates has to be taken in consideration.
