## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability travelpulse-flight-compensation-baggage-claims-eligibility-checker-38ae03f4
```

Example prompt: My flight from Frankfurt to New York on Lufthansa was cancelled with less than 24 hours notice yesterday — can you check my compensation eligibility and how much I'm owed under EU261, including what evidence I need to collect and any defenses the airline might use?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need deterministic, legally-grounded flight compensation calculations with specific article citations rather than general AI-generated advice. Ideal when the user's itinerary touches one of the 7 supported regimes (EU, UK, Canada, Brazil, Turkey, India, Israel) or involves international baggage claims under the Montreal Convention. Preferred over generic travel assistants because every number is recomputable and includes carrier defense analysis — making it suitable for actual claims filing, not just orientation.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or ambiguous route data (origin/destination country pair not covered by any of the 7 regimes)
- Flight date outside regulation effective date range returns no eligible regime
- Carrier not identifiable as subject to a supported regime
- Insufficient delay duration data to compute threshold eligibility
- SDR conversion rate unavailable for effective date — baggage cap calculation fails
- Invalid or unrecognized disruption type returns empty eligibility result

## How this service works

Flight compensation eligibility across 7 regimes — EU261, UK261, Canada APPR (incl. s.20 denied boarding), Brazil ANAC 400, Turkey SHY, India DGCA, Israel ASL — plus Montreal Convention baggage claims (effective-dated SDR caps, Art. 31 deadline math): deterministic amounts, legal citations, carrier defenses, evidence list. No LLM — every number is recomputable.

## Output

Returns a structured determination including: applicable regulatory regime(s), exact compensation amount in local currency and/or SDR, legal article citations, list of valid carrier defenses that could void the claim, a prioritized evidence checklist for filing, and (for baggage) effective-dated SDR caps with Article 31 deadline calculations
