OUR SERVICES

What we enforce for you

From classic flight delays to consequential costs that exceed the actual compensation amount – we are familiar with every situation.

✈️
Flight Delay
If your flight arrives at your final destination with a delay of at least 3 hours, you are entitled to up to €600 per person under EU Regulation EC 261/2004 – regardless of whether you received an apology from the airline or not.
More about flight delays →
Flight Cancellation
If your flight is cancelled less than 14 days before the scheduled departure, you are generally entitled to compensation. In addition, you have the right to a full refund of the ticket price or alternative transport to your destination.

👤
Denied Boarding & Overbooking
Airlines intentionally sell more tickets than there are seats available. If you are denied boarding despite having a valid ticket and checking in on time, you are legally entitled to compensation of up to €600.
More about overbooking →
🔗
Missed Connecting Flight
If a delay on your initial flight causes you to miss your connection, the entire journey is considered as a single unit. The decisive factor is the delay at your final destination – which can bring you up to €600.

🔄
Flight Diversion & Rescheduling
Were you diverted to a different airport, or was your flight rescheduled to a different time without prior notice? We will check your right to compensation in these cases as well.

🏨
Reimbursement of Consequential Costs
In addition to statutory compensation, we claim your actual out-of-pocket expenses: hotel stays, meals at the airport, taxis, transfers, and missed onward travel. These costs can even exceed the actual compensation amount – and are reimbursable without limit.

YOUR OPTIONS

Why Passengers friend is the right choice

Three ways to claim your compensation. Only one convinces down the line – because personal service, transparent pricing, real contact persons, and the enforcement of consequential costs are worth more than an anonymous portal or an expensive lawyer.

Enforce on your own

  • Time-consuming – months of correspondence with the airline
  • Complicated documentation and forms
  • Legal knowledge required
  • Airlines often reject claims without giving reasons
  • Lawsuit at your own expense and your own risk

Hire a lawyer

  • High legal fees – even if the case is lost
  • Long processing times, multiple rounds of coordination
  • Most lawyers are not specialists in passenger rights
  • A large amount of paperwork on your part
  • No focus on the reimbursement of consequential costs

MORE THAN JUST COMPENSATION

We recover more than just your compensation.

Sometimes, the consequential costs are higher than the actual compensation amount. Hotels, meals, transfers, missed onward travel – all of this is part of your rights. The reimbursement of consequential costs is uncapped: We claim what you actually incurred.

  • Statutory compensation according to EU Regulation EC 261/2004 – up to €600 per person
  • Hotel stays & accommodation – for forced overnight stays at the airport or destination
  • Meals & refreshments – proven expenses incurred during the waiting period
  • Transfers & taxi – additional costs resulting directly from the flight cancellation or delay
  • Missed onward travel – booked hotels, rental cars, or tours that could no longer be used

FAQ

Your questions - your answers

No legal jargon. No fine print. Just honest answers.

Generally, when your flight arrives at its destination with a delay of at least 3 hours, if the flight was cancelled, or if you were denied boarding despite having a valid ticket. The flight distance determines the amount: up to 1,500 km = €250, up to 3,500 km = €400, beyond that = €600 per person. Check your case for free in 2 minutes.

If we do not successfully claim compensation for you, you pay nothing. No handling fee, no hourly rate, no expenses. The risk is entirely ours – you have nothing to lose

"Only if we are successful do we charge 25% of the claimed amount (gross, including VAT). For a €600 compensation, you receive €450 – our fee is €150. VAT is always already included, no additional charges. If an airline refuses to pay and a lawyer must be brought in, a 10% litigation surcharge may apply – we communicate this transparently right from the start.

In the BASIC plan, you will receive your payout upon successful completion, typically within 3–12 months. If you need the money faster, we offer the EXPRESS plan: payout within 7 business days of your request – no other provider offers this option.

Yes. The EU Regulation EC 261/2004 applies to all flights departing from an EU country, as well as to flights from outside the EU to an EU destination if the airline is based in the EU. We also enforce claims in Spain, the Netherlands, and other EU countries.
