How it works

Three steps, no upfront cost.

  1. 1

    Search your flight in our archive

    Enter the date, route or flight number. Our database holds 20.8 million flights with verified operational data: actual times, delays, cancellations and diversions sourced directly from airports.

  2. 2

    Automatic assessment on real data

    Our system cross-references your flight with the historical archive and automatically evaluates the disruption — actual delay, flight status, route distance — against EU Reg. 261/2004 criteria. Your declaration is verified against real data, not taken at face value.

  3. 3

    We handle everything

    Our legal team manages all communication with the airline, from the formal demand letter to potential court action — at no upfront cost to you. Our fee, when due, is always deducted from the compensation recovered.

Evidence-based assessment, not trust

We cross-reference airport and airline operational data to evaluate with concrete proof whether the extraordinary circumstances claimed by the airline actually hold up. We don't take their word for it.

Your personal dashboard

Track every step of your case from a dedicated dashboard: detailed timeline, documents, real-time status updates and notifications on every progress. No waiting in the dark.

Zero cost for you

We never ask you for any upfront payment. Our fee, when due, is deducted only from the compensation you receive: if the airline also covers legal costs you pay nothing, otherwise the percentage depends on how long the case takes to close. If we don't recover anything, you owe nothing — zero risk for you.

Real legal assistance

We're not an aggregator. Our in-house legal team handles every case from start to finish, from the formal demand letter to potential court action.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions

Which flights are covered by EU Regulation 261/2004?
All flights departing from an EU airport, regardless of airline, and flights arriving in the EU operated by a European carrier. This includes delays of 3+ hours at arrival, cancellations, and denied boarding due to overbooking.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Limitation periods vary by country. In Italy you have 2 years from the flight date. We recommend acting as soon as possible to have all documentation available.
Do extraordinary circumstances exclude compensation?
Flat-rate compensation (art. 7) is not due if the airline proves an extraordinary circumstance it could not avoid: extreme weather, airspace closure, external strikes such as air traffic controllers. Ordinary technical faults and strikes by the airline’s own staff do not count. Refund or re-routing (art. 8) and care (art. 9) remain due in any case. Our system assesses this from the start.
What if my flight isn't in your database?
If the flight isn't in our archive, the case is assigned to an operator for manual verification. You'll receive a response within 48 working hours.
Does the service have a cost?
No — the service is free: we claim our professional fees from the airline, not from you. We never ask for an advance payment and you take no risk: if we file a case, we pay the court fee and every out-of-pocket expense, and if the case is lost the other side's costs stay with us, not with you. A fee arises in one case only: where the airline offers the compensation alone, without legal costs. We then discuss it with you and you decide whether to accept straight away or carry on; if you accept, we agree a share of the amount recovered — 10% within 15 days of signing, 20% afterwards — deducted from the compensation and never out of your own pocket. Full details are in our Terms of Service and in the mandate.
Can I withdraw or revoke the mandate?
Yes. You have a free right of withdrawal within the first 14 days of signing. After that you can still revoke the mandate at any time; if you do so after we've already started acting on your behalf, revocation involves a small contribution toward costs incurred. Full details are in our Terms of Service.
