Which is the best company to claim compensation from KLM?

By Richard Jasinski·Updated 3 November 2026

The 13 claims companies on this page, all from the Uncompromised Travel flight compensation table, name KLM on their own websites. 4 of them have a page of their own on KLM claims: AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, Flight-Delayed and FlightCompensations. You can also claim from KLM yourself for free; a claims company charges a fee for doing the work, usually a share of the €250, €400 or €600.

What does each one charge if it wins?

12 of the 13 publish their fee or their court terms; each line gives both as the company states them.

  • AirAdvisor: 30% on flight compensation claims and 40% on more complex baggage and reimbursement claims, taken from the airline's payment; it does not say whether VAT is included.
  • AirCashBack: 25% gross of what is obtained, if the claim succeeds; VAT may be added on top. Court: a further 20% gross if the case goes to court: 45% gross in all.
  • AirHelp: 35% including VAT, taken from the compensation; AirHelp+ members pay no fee. Court: an additional legal action fee applies if it escalates through legal channels; no figure is published.
  • FairPlane: 24% to 35% including VAT, set by airline and flight and shown before ordering; on a €600 claim the fee is up to €210. Court: no extra court fee: the maximum 35% includes court enforcement.
  • Flight-Delayed: 35% for most cases, deducted from the amount won; prices include VAT unless stated otherwise. Court: 50% if the case has to go to court, described as 35% plus 15%.
  • FlightCompensations: A fixed €39 per passenger, only when compensation is recovered, invoiced after the airline pays; VAT is not mentioned. Court: it does not go to court: a claim that can only be won in court is closed at no charge.
  • Flightright: Usually 20% to 30% of the compensation, plus VAT, agreed when ordering. Court: a surcharge of 14%, only if successful, when contract lawyers are needed; it pays court costs if the case is lost.
  • FlyClaims: 20% of the compensation including VAT, only if successful; on a €400 claim the customer keeps €320. Court: no extra fee for legal action: 'Your fee stays the same.'
  • MYFLYRIGHT: 25% plus VAT on the debt collection route, or 35% plus VAT where it buys the claim for an immediate payout. Court: a surcharge of 10% plus VAT if external lawyers are needed and the case succeeds.
  • RefundMore: A maximum of 30% including VAT, only on success, or a fixed fee per passenger by distance: €75, €120 or €180. Court: an extra court case fee of up to 15% in one place on its site and up to 30%, a maximum of 45% in all, in another.
  • Skycop: 44% including VAT on its standard price list (€110 on a €250 claim, €264 on €600); 30% on its Brazil price list. Court: 50% including VAT with legal proceedings on its standard price list (€300 on a €600 claim).
  • SkyRefund: 35% including VAT, deducted from the compensation received.

Which is the best company to claim compensation from KLM?

No one company fits every KLM claim: the fit depends on the fee, whether court costs are extra and whether the company handles KLM claims already. These 13 name KLM on their own websites; the cards give each one's fee, court terms and Trustpilot rating where it publishes them.

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 KLM, in an airline page of its own or in its list of airlines (a passing mention in a flight list or an example does not count), in words that can be shown here: 13 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.

KLM claim companies: the questions people ask

Can I claim compensation from KLM myself?

Yes. You can claim from KLM directly, for free. A claims company does the same work for a share of the compensation and some take the airline to court if it refuses.

Which claims companies have a page of their own on KLM claims?

AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, Flight-Delayed and FlightCompensations have a page of their own on KLM claims on their websites. The others list KLM among the airlines they cover.

How much compensation can I get from KLM?

Under EU261 and UK261 the amount is set by the flight's distance: €250, €400 or €600 (£220, £350 or £520 under UK261), less the claims company's fee if you use one.

Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?

10 of the 13: AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirHelp, Bott and Co, FairPlane, Flightright, MYFLYRIGHT, 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?

AirAdvisor, AirCashBack, AirHelp, FairPlane, Flight-Delayed, FlightCompensations, Flightright, FlyClaims, MYFLYRIGHT, 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, 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 names KLM, in an airline page of its own or in its list of airlines (a passing mention in a flight list or an example does not count). 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.
