€600 is the EU261 amount for a delay of more than four hours on a flight over 3,500 km. This page works out what you keep of it at each of the 19 claims companies that publish a percentage fee, grouped by whether VAT is in the fee.
Which claim companies are best for a 600 euro claim?
Of the percentage fees on a €600 claim with VAT included, you keep the most with FlyClaims: €480. Before VAT, AviFly leaves €510, but VAT is then added to its fee. These are the 19 claims companies that publish a percentage fee; each line gives what you keep out of court and what changes in court.
How the amounts are worked out. Each company's lowest and highest standard success fee, as published on its own website (read 20 October 2026), taken from €600 of compensation per passenger. Companies are grouped by how they treat VAT, because a fee plus VAT costs more than the same figure including VAT; inside each group they are ordered by what you keep. Where a company gives a range, both ends are shown. €600 is the highest fixed amount under EU261, for flights over 3,500 km. No company paid to be on this page.

A €600 claim, company by company: the questions people ask
Which company leaves me the most of €600?
Of the percentage fees that include VAT, the first company in that list; AviFly's 15% is lower before VAT, which is added on top. FlightCompensations charges a fixed €39 instead.
What is the fee on €600 at 35%?
€210, leaving €390, as at AirHelp, whose 35% includes VAT.
How much do I keep of €600 if I claim myself?
All €600: claiming from the airline yourself is free. In the UK or EU you can go on to the national enforcement body or an approved dispute scheme if it refuses.
Why are companies grouped by VAT?
A fee plus VAT costs more than the same figure including VAT: 25% plus VAT at a 19% rate is 29.75%, as ClaimFlights says for German residents.
Does the fee change if the case goes to court?
At several companies, yes; each line gives the court terms the company publishes, where it publishes them.
Is this per booking or per passenger?
Compensation under EU261 is per passenger, so the amounts here are for one passenger.
How current are these fees?
Each was read on 20 October 2026 from the company's own website. Fees change, so check the rate shown before you sign.
Did any company pay to be on this page?
No. The page carries every claims company in the table that publishes a percentage fee.
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, 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, services that pass the claim to other companies and one company whose fee page is being re-read. Amounts are worked out on this page from each company's published fee; they are not quotes. How this site earns · How we work.
