Alternatives to Skycop: the questions people ask

How much does Skycop keep from a €600 claim?

€264 on its standard price list, 44% including VAT and €300 if legal proceedings are needed.

Do Skycop's reviews differ from these alternatives?

Skycop's Trustpilot rating is 2.8 from 8,698 reviews; each card shows the alternative's own rating.

Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?

15 of the 18: AviFly, Flightright, FairPlane, AirCashBack, ClaimFlights, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, AirClaim, Compensation2Go, AirAdvisor, RefundMore, Air Indemnité, AirHelp, Indemniflight 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?

AviFly, FlyClaims, Flightright, FairPlane, AirCashBack, ClaimFlights, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, Refund Pilot, AirClaim, Compensation2Go, AirAdvisor, RefundMore, Air Indemnité, AirHelp, Flight-Delayed, Indemniflight 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.

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 Skycop'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.
