Compensation for a delayed flight - rules and the role of compensation companies
A delayed or cancelled flight can mean not only stress and a change of plans, but also the right to compensation. Although passengers can claim it by contacting the airline directly, the process can be time-consuming and requires knowledge of the law. That is why more and more people prefer not to take on the airline alone and instead turn to reliable companies specialising in air passenger compensation claims.
Rules for granting compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight
The right of air passengers to compensation is governed by EU Regulation (EC) 261/2004. Compensation is due if a flight is delayed by at least 3 hours, cancelled less than 14 days before the scheduled departure, or if a passenger is denied boarding due to overbooking. Importantly, the disruption must not be caused by extraordinary circumstances such as extreme weather conditions or security threats. The amount of compensation depends on the flight distance and ranges from 250 to 600 euros:
What do companies that claim compensation from airlines do?
Compensation companies primarily support passengers in obtaining compensation from airlines. They check whether compensation is due, prepare the necessary documents, contact the carrier and, if necessary, offer legal support and represent the client in court proceedings. Most companies work on a “no win, no fee” basis, which means no fees if compensation is not awarded.
In this ranking, we take a look at some of the most popular companies that claim compensation for delayed flights: Air Advisor, flight-delayed.com, AirHelp, Skycop and AirCashBack. We explain why AirCashBack stands out on the market and is the best choice of compensation company for air passengers!

AirCashBack vs AirAdvisor, AirHelp, Skycop and flight-delayed.com
Air Advisor is a company specialising in claiming compensation for airline passengers in cases of delays, flight cancellations, overbooking and baggage issues. The company was founded in 2017 by Anton Radchenko. Air Advisor was inspired by his personal experience, when he encountered difficulties obtaining compensation after being denied boarding by an airline.
Air Advisor - how does the process work?
The process begins with filling in an online form, in which the passenger provides their flight details and describes the situation. Air Advisor then verifies the claim and contacts the airline on the customer's behalf. If the airline rejects the claim, court proceedings may be initiated. When it comes to contact, the company does not have a telephone helpline. Instead, it serves customers on a mass scale via a contact form, chat, email and WhatsApp.
Air Advisor - commission
Air Advisor's commission is 30% at the pre-court stage. If the case goes to court, it increases to 50%.
Air Advisor - customer reviews
AirAdvisor has been rated 4.2 out of 5 stars on Google and 4.4 out of 5 on Trustpilot. Reviews of the company are mostly positive, although there is no shortage of negative comments either.

Thank you so much. We wouldn't have known to claim if we hadn't been approached by yourselves in airport
Received almost all money back very good service
Excellent servicer
I only filled in the online form and they took care of the rest and kept me informed of the process. I received a very good compensation for a delay of a few hours which I honestly wasn't expecting. Excellent service!
Great help!
Very reliable, trustful and professional company, highly recommended.
Our flight was delayed by one day due to a late connection. We sent the flight details to Aircashback and they managed everything on our behalf. Approximately 2 months later we received directly a refund for 50% of the total amount of the flight tickets. In other words, we received a 50% refund for a one day delay which is a great deal. And Aircashback organized everything from A to Z! I cannot recommend them enough! Thanks again to the whole team!
