What claims companies charge, from their own price pages
A claims company takes a share of the compensation, from about a fifth to a half depending on the company and on whether the case goes to court. Here is what AirAdvisor, AirHelp, Compensair, EUclaim, Flightright and Skycop say on their own price pages, checked 3 October 2026.
General information, not legal advice. Not a promise of payment.
What you pay for
A claims company sends the claim in your name, does the waiting, and some take a refusal to court. If the airline pays, the company keeps its fee and passes on the rest. Asking the airline yourself costs nothing and takes one email, and what the airline pays is yours. Both are fair choices.
The fees, company by company
Each figure is what the company's own price page says. Where a page does not say something, the table says so.
| Company | Fee | If it goes to court | VAT | Also on the page | Price page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AirAdvisor | 30% | 50% in all | Included | None stated for compensation claims. | airadvisor.com |
| AirHelp | 35% | 15% more, 50% in all | Included | Price list PL2.26, updated 11 August 2026. Fees differ in some markets, such as Denmark. | airhelp.com |
| ClaimCompass | Not stated | Not stated | Not stated | Its price page now leads to airhelp.com. | claimcompass.eu |
| Compensair | 35% | 10% more, 45% in all | Not stated on its price page | Bank fees for the transfer are paid by the client. Policy updated 1 June 2025. | compensair.com |

| Flightright | Usually 20 to 30% | 14% more | Added on top | None stated. | flightright.com |
| Skycop | 44% | 50% in all | Included | Price list updated 1 May 2024. | skycop.com |
Companies in alphabetical order. Prices can change and can differ by country; the price page is what counts.
What €250, €400 or €600 becomes
This is arithmetic on the figures above, for one passenger and a claim that does not go to court. It is an example, not a forecast: whether anything is paid depends on the flight and the airline.
| Company | Of €250 | Of €400 | Of €600 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AirAdvisor | €175 | €280 | €420 |
| AirHelp | €162.50 | €260 | €390 |
| Compensair | €162.50 | €260 | €390 |
| EUclaim | €139.50 | €243 | €381 |
| Skycop | €140 | €224 | €336 |
| Asking yourself | €250 | €400 | €600 |
EUclaim: 69% of the amount less €33, by its service page. Compensair: its page does not mention VAT. Flightright is not worked out, because its page gives a range of 20 to 30% plus VAT.
Or ask the airline yourself
The claim template is open on this site, free, and you send it from your own email. The checker shows which rules cover your route, and the main guide has the amounts and the steps. If the airline says no, the complaints body in the country you departed from costs nothing in most countries.
AirwayControl
Or let the app fill it in.
AirwayControl is a flight tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch. Set your flight before you leave, and it follows the day for you. If the day goes wrong, it already knows the details the claim needs.
- It tells you when it matters. A notification when your flight lands three hours late or more.
- It knows which rules cover your route. EU 261, UK 261 and the rules of 18 more countries, in plain words.
- It fills in the claim. Airline, flight number, date and route come from My Flight.
- You send it. From your own email, or through the airline's own claim form with every answer ready to copy.
- No fee and no share. AirwayControl never takes a part of what you receive.
