WHY PROTECT YOUR FLIGHT IN ADVANCE?

Better to protect yourself in advance than think afterwards: “I wish I had.”

In many cases, you are entitled to compensation. Yet a large proportion of claims are never pursued, because enforcing them takes time, effort and expertise.

⚖️
You're up against the airline alone
Rejections, excuses, months of waiting. Anyone pursuing a claim without support needs time, patience and legal know-how.
📄
All the effort falls on you
Boarding pass, booking confirmation, proof of delay, correspondence with the airline. Without experts on your side, the entire burden of proof is yours alone.
✂️
You receive less
If you only hand over your claim after the disruption, you pay a success fee. So if you are entitled to €600 in compensation, the full €600 won’t reach you.

PF Gold reverses the process: protect first, then fly.

You protect your flight booking in advance for a small fee. If nothing happens, you simply had a smooth journey. If something does happen, just get in touch with us briefly. Our experts handle the rest and you receive your full compensation without deductions.

WHAT THIS MEANS IN PRACTICE

An example calculation

Long-haul flight, arriving more than four hours late. Two passengers, the same compensation entitlement –
but a significant difference in how much you ultimately receive.

Without PF Gold: submitted after the disruption
Compensation entitlement€600.00
Paid upfront€0.00
Success fee (35%)−€210.00
Amount you receive €390.00
You submit the case yourself and provide the necessary documentation. No financial risk, but you don’t receive the full compensation.
With PF Gold: protected in advance
Compensation entitlement€600.00
Paid upfront−€5.49
Success fee€0.00
You receive €600.00
Plus: You simply report your case via our form and we handle the rest. Documented additional expenses are reimbursed separately.
From €5.49 upfront, and you keep €210 more.

WHO IS PF GOLD FOR?

Particularly worthwhile if ...

🌍
… you’re flying long-haul
For flights of 3,500 km or more, compensation can be as high as €600 per person – so there’s more at stake.
🔗
… you have a connecting flight
With connecting flights, even a small delay can affect your entire journey.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
… you’re travelling with others
Compensation applies per person. For a family of four, that can quickly add up to as much as €2,400.
💼
… you fly frequently for business
Frequent flyers are statistically more likely to experience flight disruptions – making annual protection particularly worthwhile.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about PF Gold

How late can I purchase PF Gold?

You can book PF Gold up to 48 hours before the scheduled departure of your first flight. What matters is that no flight disruption has occurred at the time of purchase. Only claims that arise after the contract has been concluded are covered. So if your airline has already cancelled or rescheduled the flight, PF Gold is no longer available for this trip. In that case, our compensation service can help you.

What do I do if something goes wrong with my flight?

If your flight is delayed, cancelled or affected by another disruption, simply report your case via our form. Let us know you have PF Gold and upload your proof of purchase. We check whether you are entitled to compensation and pursue your claim with the airline. You don't have to deal with the airline yourself.

Does PF Gold cover my entire booking, including the return flight?

Yes. Each PF Gold cover applies to one complete flight booking, meaning one booking reference (PNR), including the return flight and all connecting flights on the same booking. The only requirement is that you purchase the cover before the first flight of this booking departs.

If you booked your outbound and return flights under two separate booking references, you will need separate cover for each booking. If you fly several times a year, the annual plan is usually the better value.

How many people does my cover include?

That depends on the plan you choose:

  • Individual cover: covers one person on one booking reference.
  • Couples & Families: covers people from the same household travelling together on a shared booking. One plan applies per booking, regardless of the number of travellers.
  • Group plan: covers group bookings of 12 people or more, at a fixed price per person.
Is PF Gold also available for all my flights in a year?

Yes. In addition to one-off cover per flight booking, we offer an annual plan for individuals as well as one for people from the same household travelling together. It covers all flights taking place within twelve months of the start of your contract, so you no longer need to cover each booking separately. You can select the annual plan directly when booking Individual cover or the Couples & Families plan.

What documents do I need?

To enforce your claim, we need your PF Gold proof of purchase and your boarding pass or digital booking confirmation. A delay confirmation from the airline and receipts for any additional expenses such as hotel, transfers or meals are also helpful. Should we need further documents in individual cases, we will request them from you specifically. If you have an annual plan, please submit the documents separately for each claim.

Do I really receive 100% of the compensation?

Yes. PF Gold customers pay no commission and receive the full compensation payment of up to €600 per person under EU Regulation (EC) No 261/2004. Even if the airline refuses and we have to enforce your claim in court, there are no additional costs for you. Unlike our compensation service for past flights, PF Gold has no litigation fee.

When will the compensation be paid out?

As soon as the full compensation amount has been received by Passengers Friend, we transfer it to you within a few days. How long the airline takes to pay cannot be predicted in advance. It depends on the individual case and the airline concerned. We will keep you informed about the status of your case.
