On a flight of more than 3,500 km, a delay of more than four hours can be worth €600 and a delay of three to four hours €300: the 13 claims companies on this page, from the Uncompromised Travel table, say how they treat long-haul delays, among them Skycop, MYFLYRIGHT and AirClaim.
Which flight compensation companies are best for a long-haul delay of more than four hours?
For a long-haul delay the hour matters: past four hours the amount can double. Each card gives the company's own rule; FlyClaims takes 20% including VAT and Skycop 44% including VAT, so on a €600 claim the fee differs by more than €100.
On this page: AirClaim, AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, Click2Refund, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, FlyClaims, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Refund Pilot, RefundMore and Skycop.

Long-haul delays over four hours: the questions people ask
Why can a long-haul delay of three to four hours be worth less?
Under EU261 the amount for a flight over 3,500 km can be halved, from €600 to €300, when the delay on arrival is between three and four hours; AirClaim, RefundMore and Skycop say so.
Does the four hours count from departure?
No. AirClaim and Refund Pilot measure the delay on arrival, when the aircraft door opens.
Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?
11 of the 13: AirClaim, AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, Click2Refund, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, Indemniflight, 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?
AirClaim, AviFly, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, FlyClaims, Indemniflight, MYFLYRIGHT, Refund Pilot, 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. For Bott and Co and Click2Refund, 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 says what a long-haul delay of three to four hours, or more than four hours, is worth. 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.
