Yes: Flightright, AirCashBack, Indemniflight and AviFly say the compensation belongs to the passenger even when the employer paid. The 8 claims companies on this page each say how they treat business trips.
Can I claim compensation for a business trip my employer paid for?
You can claim, the 8 companies on this page say. Four say the money is the traveller's even if the employer paid. AviFly adds that your employer agreement may require you to pass it on; MYFLYRIGHT and FairPlane can pay the employer where it is entitled.
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 who gets the compensation on a business trip, or that business travellers can claim, in words that can be shown here: 8 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.
'For business and package travel you have the same rights as individual travellers'; if the employer is entitled to the claim, payment can go direct to the employer.
Fee if it wins
25% plus VAT on the debt collection route, or 35% plus VAT where it buys the claim for an immediate payout.
If it goes to court
A surcharge of 10% plus VAT if external lawyers are needed and the case succeeds.
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.
Reviews
Trustpilot: 4.5 out of 5 from 4,760 reviews, newest review 7 October 2026, read 20 October 2026.
Business travellers are eligible: 'Auch Passagieren auf Geschäftsreisen steht eine Entschädigung ... offen' (passengers on business trips are also entitled to compensation).
Fee if it wins
It pays 71% to 75% of the claim value upfront and keeps 25% to 29%: 29% including VAT for flights under 90 days old, 25% for older flights.
If it goes to court
No court fee: the customer is paid whatever happens with the airline.
If the claim fails
It pays after a positive online check, regardless of the outcome with the airline.
Business trips your employer paid for: the questions people ask
Do I have to give the money to my employer?
Check your employment agreement: AviFly says the money may have to be passed on and Flightright says a contract with the employer can waive it.
Can a company claim for its staff?
FairPlane offers a separate product, FairPlane Business, for companies; Flightright's portal is not available to companies.
Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?
7 of the 8: AirCashBack, AviFly, FairPlane, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT 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, AviFly, FairPlane, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Refund Pilot 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 says who gets the compensation on a business trip, or that business travellers can claim. 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.
