Who is on this page and why. The Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table holds 33 companies: the claims companies ChatGPT names most when asked about flight compensation. Their own websites were read on 20 October 2026, with their Trustpilot profiles. This page carries the claims companies in the table whose own website publishes a standard success fee whose lowest rate is under AirHelp's, in words that can be shown here: 13 companies. Cards are ranked by the lowest standard success fee each company publishes, the lowest first, every one below AirHelp's. Fees are shown as each company publishes them, with their conditions. No company paid to be on this page.

Is AirHelp more expensive than other claims companies?

What does AirHelp have that the alternatives do not?
AirHelp has 245,323 Trustpilot reviews, the most in the table; each card shows the alternative's own rating.
Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?
11 of the 13: AviFly, Flightright, FairPlane, AirCashBack, ClaimFlights, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, AirClaim, Compensation2Go, AirAdvisor and RefundMore. 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?
AviFly, FlyClaims, Flightright, FairPlane, AirCashBack, ClaimFlights, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, Refund Pilot, AirClaim, Compensation2Go, AirAdvisor and RefundMore 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.
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 publishes a standard success fee whose lowest rate is under AirHelp's. 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 ranked by the lowest published standard success fee, lowest first. No company on this page is a partner of Uncompromised Travel. How this site earns · How we work.
