We check whether you are likely entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 for a delayed or cancelled flight. If you want to proceed, we generate a ready-to-send claim letter for a fixed fee.
A fixed fee, shown to you before you pay, based on your flight's distance — never a percentage of your compensation.
Those services charge 25–44% of your compensation and handle the whole process for you, including legal action if needed. We charge a small fixed fee and give you a ready-to-send letter — you keep almost all of your compensation, but you send the claim yourself.
It depends on the country, generally between 2 and 6 years after the flight. See the table below for details.
Your letter includes next steps, including how to escalate to your National Enforcement Body or use the EU's Online Dispute Resolution platform.
