Claims for disrupted flights
Passengers whose flights are delayed, cancelled or disrupted in another way can bring a claim through this service. Travelers add their flight details first, which lets the team judge whether the journey may qualify. Paperwork and talks with the airline then move to the team, so travelers are not left to chase the carrier alone. Disruption causes covered include refused boarding, strikes and other problems that affect a journey.
Experts in passenger rights
The business has spent well over a decade on passenger rights, and its specialists work in that one area. Experts follow the rules that apply to flights in different countries, where timing and conditions can differ considerably. Many travelers have used the service over the years. Keeping to air travel alone gives the team a steady routine for each case, from collecting documents to reaching the final outcome.
Our full take
An air passenger rights service that checks flight details to find compensation owed for delayed or cancelled flights.

Frequently asked questions
What does AirHelp do for travelers?+
AirHelp checks your flight details for eligibility after delays or cancellations and manages the claim for you. Its team prepares documents, contacts the airline and pursues negotiation through resolution. You receive payment to your account when the claim succeeds.
Which disruptions are covered?+
Coverage includes delayed and canceled flights plus other problems such as strikes and denied boarding. Eligibility depends on the details of each disruption and the reason the airline provides. The service reviews your flight information and explains whether you can proceed.
Who can be included in one claim?+
You can include friends, family members, children and colleagues from the same trip. Each traveler is assessed individually, so companions may also qualify based on their own booking and disruption. Adding everyone together keeps shared travel problems in a single process.
What documents help a claim?+
You strengthen your case by keeping boarding passes, booking confirmations and airline messages about the disruption. Extra receipts, your actual arrival time and identification photos also help when airlines request proof. Submitting these details early avoids missing time limits that vary by country.
