Claim Compensation

Know your rights to claim Korean Air flight delay or cancellation compensation

Claim Flights – How We Help

At Claim Flights, we are UK based facilitators and experts in EU compensation claims. Our specializations include filing EU compensation claims with the airline companies and disseminating information on EU air passenger rights.

With our help, passengers can understand, process and follow their EU compensation claims. Our chat option, which is available on our website, can be availed of by the passengers to talk directly with our legal experts. Our step-by-step guide can be used by the passengers to understand the entire process their claim will go through. Our Delayed Flight Compensation Calculator can be used to get an estimate of the compensation amount due to the passenger in their particular case.

Our particular expertise is in the area of filing and processing EU claims. Here the entire process is undertaken by us and we only charge a commission for our services when the passenger has actually received the compensation amount due to them by the airlines in their bank account. So, passengers can file their EU claims through us where we actively pursue the claim or use our resources to file and follow claims by themselves.
