## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
I'm stuck at [AIRPORT NAME]. My flight [FLIGHT NUMBER] on [AIRLINE NAME] from [DEPARTURE AIRPORT] to [ARRIVAL AIRPORT] was [DELAYED OR CANCELLED, e.g. delayed 4 hours], so I'll miss my connection to [FINAL DESTINATION]. They've rebooked me on [NEW FLIGHT AND TIME, e.g. tomorrow at 9:40am]. The agent told me: [WHAT THE AGENT SAID, e.g. no hotel because it's weather].

Act as a calm, well-informed passenger-rights advocate.
1. Tell me which rules likely apply to this trip (for example EU261, UK261, US DOT rules, or the airline's own contract of carriage) and why.
2. List what I'm entitled to right now (hotel, meals, transport) and what compensation I might claim later, with amounts if the rules set them.
3. Give me a short, polite script to read to the agent, including what to say if they say no.
4. Tell me which receipts, boarding passes and screenshots to save.
5. Draft the compensation claim email I can send once I'm home.
Flag anything you're unsure about so I can check it on the official regulator's website.
```
