AirHelp checks for free if your flight is eligible for compensation. However, if the claim is successful, the platform retains a commission from the amount obtained.

In which cases can you obtain flight compensation?

Compensation is sometimes possible in the event of a significant delay, last-minute cancellation, or denied boarding. The disruption must generally be within the airline's control.

How much compensation can be obtained?

Depending on the applicable regulations and the flight distance, compensation can reach up to approximately €600 in certain cases.

Can you claim compensation without AirHelp?

Yes. It is possible to make a request directly to the airline. Services like AirHelp simplify the process but charge a commission.

How long after a flight can a claim be made?

The time limit depends on the country and the applicable regulations. In some cases, a claim can be filed several years after the flight.
