When your flight is delayed, canceled, or you encounter other issues during your journey, a natural question arises: how much does it cost to obtain compensation through a specialized service? At AirClaimhow much does it cost to obtain compensation through a specialized service? At AirClaim, we focus on transparency and passenger safety. In this article, you will learn exactly what costs our service involves and how you can benefit from our team’s support without financial risks and without hassle.

Why is it important to know the costs before starting the compensation process?

Many passengers avoid claiming flight compensation because they are unsure about the costs involved. It is important to understand that at AirClaim, we do not charge any fees before compensation is obtained. This means there are no hidden fees or upfront payments. Payment applies only if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.

Therefore, the first step is always to check your flight’s eligibility. You can use the compensation calculator to estimate whether you are entitled to compensation at no cost.

Types of incidents eligible for compensation

To understand the costs involved, you must correctly identify the situation affecting your flight. Our team analyzes each case individually and helps you determine whether you are entitled to compensation. The most common incidents include:

Delayed flight

If you arrive at your final destination with a significant delay, you may be entitled to compensation under Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004. Our team of specialists verifies the actual arrival time and the circumstances of the delay to determine eligibility.

Canceled flight

Cancellations, especially those announced shortly before departure, may entitle you to compensation. Our team analyzes the reasons provided by the airline and guides you through the necessary steps.

Overbooking

If you were denied boarding despite having a confirmed reservation, you are entitled to compensation. At AirClaim, we manage the entire situation, so you don’t have to negotiate with the airline on your own.

Baggage issues

Delayed, lost, or damaged baggage may also be eligible for compensation. In these cases, we guide you in gathering the required documents and submitting the claim correctly.

How are AirClaim service costs calculated?

At AirClaim, we apply a success-based fee model. This means you pay nothing if we do not obtain compensation. The fee charged is a percentage of the recovered amount, clearly established from the beginning. The advantage is that there are no hidden payments, and you can check your flight’s eligibility with complete peace of mind.

  • There are no analysis fees or charges for the initial case evaluation.

  • Payment is required only after the compensation is transferred to your account.

  • The applied percentage is transparent and displayed before signing the contract.

This way, you take no financial risk and benefit from our team’s expertise in recovering the compensation you are entitled to.

Practical example: how AirClaim service costs are calculated

To better understand how success-based payment works, here is an illustrative example of a typical case:

  • Compensation amount: €1,200

  • Additional amount per passenger: €600

  • Success fee, charges, and VAT: €421

  • Other fees: €0

  • Client payout: €779

This example highlights the transparency of our service. You pay only after receiving compensation, and the final amount is clearly communicated before signing the contract. This ensures there are no hidden costs and that every stage of the process is professionally handled by our team.
