Do you need an app to claim?
No. Every company on this page takes claims on its website, and the airline's own claim form is free. An app helps before anything goes wrong: it logs your flights, sends delay alerts and keeps the scheduled and actual times a claim needs. After a disruption, the evidence is the same however you file: booking reference, boarding passes, arrival time and the reason the airline gave. Our membership page compares AirHelp+ and Skycop Care, which waive the claim fee.
Who to contact first
- You want flights tracked and claims in one app: the AirHelp app.
- You want a lower fee and do not mind a website: Flightright (usually 20 to 30% plus VAT).
- Your claim is simple: the airline, free.
