We file the EU 261/2004 flight compensation complaint with the airline
2 We file the legal complaint

A formal letter goes out from our legal entity.

Your case is checked against EU 261/2004 and the Montreal Convention. We draft a complaint on our letterhead with a unique reference and a 14-day legal deadline, then escalate to the regulator if the airline stalls.

Flight compensation paid into your bank account
3 You get paid

Compensation lands in your account.

When the airline pays, the money goes directly to your bank. We take a fixed commission only after you receive your compensation — no win, no fee, no upfront costs.

Why choose us

The airline bets you won't fight back. We change the math.

A legal entity, automated escalation, and a no-win-no-fee model — designed so the airline answers within days, not months.

Your boarding pass is worth more than you think.

Most passengers never claim what they're owed. Airlines bank on that. We turn the documents you already have into a paid claim — typically €250 to €600 per passenger under EU 261/2004.

Replies in plain English, no legalese.
Flights departing from EU airports, and EU-carrier flights arriving in the EU. Covers three situations: delays of 3+ hours at the destination; cancellations where the airline gave less than 14 days' notice; and denied boarding (including overbooking). You can also read our airline-specific guides for Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air.
Airlines are legally required to respond within 14 days. Most cases resolve within 4–8 weeks. If the airline ignores us, we send a follow-up and, if necessary, file a complaint with the national regulator.
The eligibility check and drafting the complaint are completely free. We operate on a no win, no fee basis — we charge a commission only when compensation is successfully received.
It depends on the flight distance, not your ticket price: €250 for flights up to 1,500 km, €400 for flights between 1,500 and 3,500 km, and €600 for flights over 3,500 km. The same bands apply to cancellations and denied boarding under EU 261/2004.
Airlines frequently abuse this clause. Technical malfunctions do not qualify as extraordinary circumstances. We analyse the reason given and, if necessary, escalate to the NEB or pursue legal action.
Yes. Under EU 261/2004, the statute of limitations ranges from 2 to 6 years depending on the country. In most European jurisdictions you have several years to file a claim.
No. Once your case is created, all correspondence goes out under our name. You just upload your documents — booking confirmation and boarding pass — and monitor the status in your dashboard.
No. Compensation under EU 261/2004 is a fixed amount based only on the flight distance and the length of the delay. It is completely independent of how much you paid for your ticket — a budget fare is owed the same €250–€600 as a full-fare one.

Your flight is delayed.
Your compensation isn't.
