A delayed flight from the United States into Europe is covered by EU261 or UK261 only when a European or UK airline flies it. The 17 claims companies on this page, from the Uncompromised Travel table, each say so on their own sites; FairPlane gives the plainest example: New York to Duesseldorf on United Airlines, no claim; on Lufthansa, possible.
Which flight compensation company is best for a delayed flight from the United States to Europe?
Check the airline first: on a European airline, the 17 companies on this page say a flight into the EU can be claimed; for a UK airline into the UK, check that the company names UK261. On a US airline flying into Europe, they say there is no EU261 claim.
On this page: AirCashBack, AirClaim, AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, FlyClaims, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, ReFly, Refund Pilot, Skycop and SkyRefund.
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 says when a flight into Europe from outside, such as one from the United States, is covered (in short: on a European airline), or that a US flight in that direction is not, in words that can be shown here: 17 companies. Cards are in alphabetical order. Fees are shown as each company publishes them, with their conditions. No company paid to be on this page.
Flights arriving in the EU from outside are covered only on EU airlines; flights leaving the EU are covered on any airline, including United, Delta and American.
Fee if it wins
A flat 25% success fee plus VAT by country of residence (29.75% gross for German residents, no VAT for US and non-EU residents).
If it goes to court
No extra fee: the flat 25% stays the same if it goes to court; it bears court and lawyer costs.
If the claim fails
'If we do not win, we charge nothing. Period.'

If it goes to court

If the claim fails
'You will NEVER be liable for any costs' if enforcement is unsuccessful, except where the customer gave incorrect information or had already engaged a lawyer.

US to Europe delay claims: the questions people ask
Can I claim for a United or Delta flight from the US to Europe?
Not under EU261, the companies on this page say: a flight into Europe counts only on a European airline. ClaimFlights and FlyClaims say United and Delta count only on flights leaving Europe.
Does a flight from Europe to the US count?
Yes, on any airline, if it leaves an EU or UK airport, the companies on this page say.
Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?
13 of the 17: AirCashBack, AirClaim, AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, ReFly, 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?
AirCashBack, AirClaim, AviFly, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, FlyClaims, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Refund Pilot, 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 Bott and Co and ReFly, 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 says when a flight into Europe from outside, such as one from the United States, is covered (in short: on a European airline), or that a US flight in that direction is not. 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.
