Most of the 9 claims companies on this page, from the Uncompromised Travel table, that address it say a missed connection on separate tickets is not covered: Bott and Co, SkyRefund and Compensation2Go say so outright and ReFly treats separate bookings as independent flights.
What does each one charge if it wins?
8 of the 9 publish their fee or their court terms; each line gives both as the company states them.
AviFly: 15% plus VAT of the amount obtained, if the claim is settled without court. Court: 30% plus VAT if a lawsuit is needed, in place of the 15%, not on top of it.
ClaimFlights: A flat 25% success fee plus VAT by country of residence (29.75% gross for German residents, no VAT for US and non-EU residents). Court: no extra fee: the flat 25% stays the same if it goes to court; it bears court and lawyer costs.
Compensation2Go: 29% of the compensation plus VAT, 34.5% in total, paid out first as an express payment. Court: no extra court fee: lawyer and court costs are within the 34.5%.
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.
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.
ReFly: Court: no upfront cost for legal action; it says it covers all costs.
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 flight compensation companies are best for a missed connection on separate tickets?
On separate tickets each flight is judged on its own: Skycop says connections normally need to be one reservation and AviFly says it reviews separate bookings case by case. The 9 below state what they do with separate tickets.
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 says what it does when the missed connection was on separate tickets, 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.
The flights must be on one connected booking (booked together), usually one ticket; Separate tickets bought independently lose the claim. Care at the airport is owed from 2 hours' wait, including a hotel and transfer if the replacement flight is the next day.

Missed connections on separate tickets: the questions people ask
Which flight compensation companies are best for a missed connection on separate tickets?
On separate tickets each flight is judged on its own: Skycop says connections normally need to be one reservation and AviFly says it reviews separate bookings case by case. The 9 below state what they do with separate tickets.
Can I claim a missed connection on one booking?
ClaimFlights and Skycop say yes: on one booking the delay is measured at the final destination, so a missed connection that brings you there three hours or more late can be claimed.
What if only one leg was delayed?
On separate tickets the companies on this page treat each flight on its own, so only a leg that was itself delayed three hours or more, or cancelled, can be claimed.
Which of these companies have reviews on Trustpilot?
8 of the 9: AviFly, Bott and Co, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, ReFly, 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?
AviFly, ClaimFlights, Compensation2Go, FairPlane, FlightCompensations, 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 and ReFly, 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 it does when the missed connection was on separate tickets. 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.
