Compensair: what to know before you buy

Compensair is a claims service that helps air passengers pursue compensation for delayed, cancelled or overbooked flights, mainly under passenger rights rules such as the EU's EC 261 regulation. It handles the paperwork and contact with the airline in exchange for a share of any successful payout. You can usually claim directly with the airline yourself, so the service mainly saves time and effort.

Ways to save at Compensair

General money-saving moves that apply to this brand. Availability changes, so confirm on the brand's site.

  1. 1

    Try claiming directly first

    Airlines usually have their own claim forms, and claiming yourself means you keep the full amount if successful.

  2. 2

    Compare service fees

    Claim companies charge different commissions and extra fees for legal action, so compare terms before signing up.

  3. 3

    Keep your documents

    Boarding passes, booking confirmations and delay notices can make a claim faster and reduce back-and-forth.
