Top 5 flight compensation companies

Most travelers have experienced a flight delay or cancellation – or know someone who has. But do you know your rights if this happens to you? Since 2004, a formal set of regulations from the European Union, EC 261/2004, have ensured the rights to compensation for all passengers traveling within the EU or to the EU with a European airline.

Depending on the length and cause of your delay and the length of your journey, you might be entitled to a compensation from the airline you travel with. The amount of the compensation varies between €200-€600 per person – often enough to cover a new holiday! It is therefore worth claiming your rightful compensation.

Unfortunately, claiming your compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight is often complicated. Airlines sometimes state false reasons for the delay or wrongfully rejects a rightful claim for compensation which means that you must involve a national enforcement body or file a lawsuit against the airline to prove them wrong. At BestClaimCompany we always recommend that you use one of the many companies specializing in flight compensations. They know EU regulation 261/2004 by heart, have an established rapport with the airlines and have lawyers on hand to handle all legal aspects of your claim, including a possible court case.

Many companies offer to assist with collecting your rightful claim and it can be difficult to choose the best partner. Some companies will add extra fees if your case needs to go to court, some will charge you even if they fail in claiming your compensation. It is therefore wise to spend a few minutes researching the market before filing your claim. The companies we recommend offer their services free of charge if they are not able to retrieve your compensation. You therefore run no financial risk when you enter an agreement with them.
