Which flight compensation companies are best for a delayed Air Canada flight?

By Richard Jasinski·Updated 3 November 2026

An Air Canada delay can be claimed under Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations on flights in, to or from Canada and under EU261 on flights from Europe: the 9 claims companies on this page, from the Uncompromised Travel table, name Canada or Air Canada on their own websites. Skycop gives up to CAD 1,000 for a large airline and Compensair CAD 400, 700 or 1,000.

What does each one charge if it wins?

9 of the 9 publish their fee or their court terms; each line gives both as the company states them.

  • AirAdvisor: 30% on flight compensation claims and 40% on more complex baggage and reimbursement claims, taken from the airline's payment; it does not say whether VAT is included.
  • AirCashBack: 25% gross of what is obtained, if the claim succeeds; VAT may be added on top. Court: a further 20% gross if the case goes to court: 45% gross in all.
  • AirClaim: 29% plus VAT of the compensation, only on success. Court: an extra 12.32% plus VAT if legal proceedings are needed, on top of the 29% plus VAT, payable only if compensation is obtained.
  • Click2Refund: Court: all legal costs, including court fees, are borne by Click2Refund, it says.
  • Compensair: Court: no separate court fee is named; it says it takes on all costs and risks of court proceedings.
  • FlightCompensations: A fixed €39 per passenger, only when compensation is recovered, invoiced after the airline pays; VAT is not mentioned. Court: it does not go to court: a claim that can only be won in court is closed at no charge.
  • FlyClaims: 20% of the compensation including VAT, only if successful; on a €400 claim the customer keeps €320. Court: no extra fee for legal action: 'Your fee stays the same.'
  • Skycop: 44% including VAT on its standard price list (€110 on a €250 claim, €264 on €600); 30% on its Brazil price list. Court: 50% including VAT with legal proceedings on its standard price list (€300 on a €600 claim).
  • SkyRefund: 35% including VAT, deducted from the compensation received.

Which flight compensation companies are best for a delayed Air Canada flight?

Which company fits depends on the route: FlightCompensations, Skycop and Compensair say they claim under APPR, while FlyClaims covers Air Canada on flights departing Europe. The 9 below state what they take for Canada.

Air Canada delay claims: the questions people ask

Which flight compensation companies are best for a delayed Air Canada flight?

Which company fits depends on the route: FlightCompensations, Skycop and Compensair say they claim under APPR, while FlyClaims covers Air Canada on flights departing Europe. The 9 below state what they take for Canada.

What is APPR?

Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations, which set compensation for delays and cancellations within the airline's control on flights to, from and within Canada.

Can I claim under EU261 for an Air Canada flight?

On a flight departing the EU or UK, yes; the companies on this page that cover Air Canada name that route.

Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?

7 of the 9: AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, Click2Refund, Compensair, Skycop and SkyRefund. Each card shows the rating, the number of reviews and the newest review date, read on the day shown.

Do these companies charge a fee if they win?

AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, FlightCompensations, FlyClaims, Skycop and SkyRefund publish a fee figure on their own websites. Each card gives the fee as the company states it, with its conditions, such as VAT or a separate court fee. For Click2Refund and Compensair, no fee figure was found on its website or its fee page would not open; ask before you sign.

Can I claim without a claims company?

Yes. You can claim from the airline directly and for free; in the UK or EU you can go on to the national enforcement body or an approved dispute scheme if the airline refuses. A claims company takes a share of the compensation for doing that work for you.

Where can I check these facts myself?

Each card links the pages of the company's own website its lines were read from, under Sources, with the date they were read.

How were these companies chosen?

Each one is a claims company in the Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table and its own website names Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), flights to, from or within Canada, or Air Canada flights from Europe among the claims it takes. A company is on the page because its published facts fit the question, never because it paid.

Is any company on this page paying to be here?

No. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel; none paid to be listed.

Built to answer the question in the main heading. What is shown: what each claims company published on its own website, read on 20 October 2026, with its Trustpilot rating where the profile carries the company's own name, from the Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table. Left out: companies whose websites would not open, a company whose activities were taken over by another, a company whose address opens another company's site and services that pass the claim to other companies. Cards are in alphabetical order. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel. How this site earns · How we work.
