Frequently asked questions
How long do I have to claim?
You are often still in time for flights from years ago: the deadline depends on the country where the claim is made. Enter your flight details and we will tell you straight away.
Does compensation apply to low-cost flights too?
Yes. The European regulation applies whatever the type of airline and the ticket price.
How much does the service cost?
You pay nothing upfront. If we get your compensation we keep 25% + VAT: on €400 you keep €278. If we get nothing, you owe us nothing.
Do strikes or bad weather rule out compensation?
Extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or air traffic control strikes can rule it out; strikes by the airline's own staff do not. We assess every case and tell you if it can go ahead.
Which documents do I need?
Your flight details and the booking or boarding pass are enough. We guide you through the rest.
