Airlines tend to offer travel vouchers to passengers as it allows them to keep the passengers as customers. However, we strongly advise against accepting travel vouchers. Accepting a travel voucher would require you to travel with the same airline again, and should the airline file for bankruptcy, you would be at risk of losing your money.
Hold the airline accountable and claim up to £520 in flight compensation.
It is possible to claim compensation for flights from up to 5 years ago!

What do our experts do to increase your chances of a successful claim?
We have been working with airlines for over 10 years and are familiar with their way of working. Our team analyses your claim, writes legal documents, gets in touch with the airline for you, and, if necessary, handles a lawsuit to protect your right to compensation.
In some situations, airlines can rightfully deny issuing flight compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight. These situations are called "extraordinary circumstances" and they occur when a third party or an unforeseen event makes the delay or cancellation unavoidable, negating the airline's liability.
Here are a few examples of such situations:
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
An ill or unruly passenger.
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
You have 5 years to make a flight compensation and/or refund claim while travelling to or from France, no matter the airline or your flight schedule.
