Delay is used in the United States only. Stay is used in Europe only. The use of "Delay" in the flight plan remarks can be used globally except in the United States and Europe.

Delay (U.S.A. Only)

To learn how to file a Delay, see How do I file an en route delay? The following need to be considered regarding the use of a Delay:

Stay (Europe Only)

To learn how to file a Stay, see How do I file an en route Stay? The following need to be considered regarding the use of a Stay:

• Use "Stay" (also known as Delay in Europe) only within Europe. Using it outside Europe, especially in the U.S., will result in rejection by ATC.

• The STAY notation must follow the waypoint at which the STAY is to start
• The entry and exit points for a Stay can be the same or different.
