Eight things to check before signing with a flight compensation company, with how many of the 23 claims companies we read publish each one on their own website.
Before you sign, check eight things: who the company is, the fee, whether VAT is in it, the court terms, what you owe if the airline pays you directly, how to cancel, how you are paid and its reviews. Of the 23 claims companies we read, 12 name cases where you can owe money without winning through them.
The company behind the brand, so you know who you sign with (counted where the site names any company entity, even without a register number).
18 of the 23 name a company entity behind the brand: AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, Click2Refund, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, ReFly, Refund Pilot, RefundMore and Skycop.
The success fee as a figure, before you sign, not after.
20 of the 23 publish a fee figure: Air Indemnité, AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, AirHelp, AviFly, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, FlyClaims, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, Refund Pilot, RefundMore, Skycop and SkyRefund.
A fee plus VAT costs more than the same figure including VAT.
16 of the 23 say clearly whether VAT is included: Air Indemnité, AirClaim, AirHelp, AviFly, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, Flightright, FlyClaims, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, RefundMore, Skycop and SkyRefund.
Some companies charge more if the case goes to court; some do not.
20 of the 23 state their court terms: Air Indemnité, AirCashBack, AirClaim, AirHelp, AviFly, ClaimFlights, Click2Refund, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, FlyClaims, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, ReFly, Refund Pilot, RefundMore and Skycop.
Several companies still charge their fee, or more, if the airline pays you instead of them.
12 of the 23 say what you owe in that case or in other exceptions: AirCashBack, AirClaim, AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT, RefundMore, Skycop and FlightCompensations.
Most give 14 days from signing; some charge once work has started.
12 of the 23 say how to cancel: AirCashBack, AirClaim, AviFly, Bott and Co, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, FlyClaims, MYFLYRIGHT, RefundMore and Skycop.
The method and whether bank or currency fees come off your money.
20 of the 23 say how they pay you: AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, AirHelp, AviFly, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, FlyClaims, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, ReFly, Refund Pilot, RefundMore, Skycop and SkyRefund.
A review profile in the company's own name, with the number of reviews and how recent they are.
19 of the 23 have a Trustpilot profile in their own name: Air Indemnité, AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, AirHelp, AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, Click2Refund, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, ReFly, RefundMore, Skycop and SkyRefund.

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.
No. Every claims company in the table whose website could be read is counted.

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, 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, services that pass the claim to other companies and one company whose fee page is being re-read. Counts are worked out on this page from the table. How this site earns · How we work.
