FlightCompensations charges a fixed €39 per passenger for each extra item it claims, Skycop may add a currency conversion fee and Flightright keeps the interest on money held in escrow: the 9 claims companies on this page each name a cost beyond the success fee.
Which flight compensation companies charge fees on top of the success fee?
Most extra costs are small and conditional: bank transfer fees if you have no SEPA account, currency conversion, or a charge if you do not cooperate. FlightCompensations is the one with a menu of add-ons: €39 per extra item, a €9 priority review and a €49 yearly membership.
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 names a cost besides its success fee and court fee, such as a bank, currency or add-on charge, in words that can be shown here: 9 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.
A fixed €39 per passenger for each other item claimed (expenses, baggage, refund), only if money is recovered; Priority Review €9 one-time; FlightComp+ €49 a year, renewing automatically; a bank wire fee is shown on the payout page.
Fee if it wins
A fixed €39 per passenger, only when compensation is recovered, invoiced after the airline pays; VAT is not mentioned.
If it goes to court
It does not go to court: a claim that can only be won in court is closed at no charge.
If the claim fails
'If we do not recover compensation, you pay no success fee.'
If you have no SEPA account, transfer or PayPal fees are yours.
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.

Fees on top of the success fee: the questions people ask
Do I pay a fee to receive my money?
Most companies list no payout fee; Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT and RefundMore say customers without a SEPA account bear transfer fees.
Is a currency conversion fee charged?
Skycop says one 'may be applied' if you want a non-euro currency and AirCashBack says you pay any currency conversion costs.
Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?
7 of the 9: AirCashBack, AirClaim, FairPlane, Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT, RefundMore and Skycop. 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, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT, RefundMore and Skycop 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 names a cost besides its success fee and court fee, such as a bank, currency or add-on charge. 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.
