Which flight compensation company is best for a cancelled flight?

By Richard Jasinski·Updated 3 November 2026

Cancelled with less than 14 days' notice, a flight in the EU or UK can be worth €250, €400 or €600 by distance and the 24 claims companies on this page, from the Uncompromised Travel table, say on their own websites that they claim it. Their fees run from 15% plus VAT at AviFly if settled without court and a fixed €39 per passenger at FlightCompensations to 44% including VAT at Skycop.

Which flight compensation company is best for a cancelled flight?

Which company fits a cancelled flight depends on the fee and the terms: FlightCompensations charges a fixed fee per passenger instead of a percentage, FlyClaims takes 20% including VAT and MYFLYRIGHT offers a commission route or an instant payout. All 24 below say they claim for cancellations; the cards give each one's terms.

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 what it claims for a cancelled flight, in words that can be shown here: 24 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.

Cancelled flight claim companies: the questions people ask

Which flight compensation company is best for a cancelled flight?

Which company fits a cancelled flight depends on the fee and the terms: FlightCompensations charges a fixed fee per passenger instead of a percentage, FlyClaims takes 20% including VAT and MYFLYRIGHT offers a commission route or an instant payout. All 24 below say they claim for cancellations; the cards give each one's terms.

Is a cancelled flight always worth compensation?

No. The companies on this page say compensation is due when the airline cancelled with less than 14 days' notice and the cause was not extraordinary circumstances; with more notice you are owed a refund or another flight instead.

Can I get a refund and compensation for the same cancelled flight?

ReFly and AirAdvisor say so: a refund or rerouting from the airline is a separate right and compensation can be due as well where the notice was short and the airline was at fault.

Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?

20 of the 24: Air Indemnité, AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, AirHelp, AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, Click2Refund, Compensair, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, ReFly, RefundMore, 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?

Air Indemnité, AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirClaim, AirHelp, AviFly, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, FlyClaims, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador, Refund Pilot, RefundMore, 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, Click2Refund, Compensair 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 what it claims for a cancelled flight. 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.
