How It Works

If your flight has been delayed, cancelled or overbook you may be entitled to compensation, under EU regulations. How much depends on the distance of your flight and length of your delay but in general this is between €400 and €600 per Passenger.

You can always attempt to contact the airlines direct to claim compensation as they are legally bound to assist. However we’ve found after speaking to many of our clients it’s highly likely they will refuse your claim. This is where Flight Delay Specialists can help. We have a team of dedicated specialists and solicitors to help fight your case. In addition we work hard to look after & nurture our relationships with the airlines. In the event they should they refuse your claim, we would prepare and proceed to take your case to court at no extra cost.

Once we have agreed to take on your case and you’re happy for us to do so, we require signed documentation to act on your behalf. The rest of your claim we deal with on a NO WIN NO FEE agreement. Should we win your case we will charge a 25% fee, we will generally deduct this from your compensation.
