Legit claims companies: the questions people ask

Which flight compensation companies are legit?

Check three things before you sign: the registered company, where it is based and whether a regulator or register lists it. The 12 companies below publish their registered company; the cards add their base, their lawyers or regulation, their fees and their Trustpilot rating.

How can I check a claims company is real?

Look for the registered company name and number on its own site, then look it up in that country's company register; a UK solicitors' firm such as Bott and Co can also be checked on the Solicitors Regulation Authority's register.

Is a claims company that buys my claim legit?

It can be: some companies on this page take the claim by assignment, which is a normal legal route. Read what you sign, since it can transfer the claim to the company.

Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?

11 of the 12: AirCashBack, AirClaim, AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, FairPlane, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador 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, AviFly, ClaimFlights, FairPlane, FlightCompensations, Flightright, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Reclamador 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. 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 the registered company behind it. 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.
