Both AirHelp and Compensair help you claim up to €600 for delayed, cancelled or overbooked flights under EU regulation EC 261/2004. But they work differently — and the right choice depends on your situation.
AirHelp is the market leader (10M+ passengers helped since 2013) with legal teams in 30+ countries. Choose AirHelp if your claim is complex (airline refuses to pay, legal action needed), if you fly frequently (AirHelp+ auto-checks all your flights), or if you want an app to track everything. The 35% fee is higher, but you get more firepower.

Compensair charges a fixed fee of €5–12 instead of a percentage — so on a €600 claim, you keep €588–595 instead of €390 with AirHelp. The trade-off: fewer countries covered and no app. Choose Compensair for straightforward EU claims where the airline clearly owes you money.

Start with AirHelp — the free check takes 2 minutes and tells you if you have a claim. If you do, compare the fee: for a €250 claim, AirHelp takes ~€87 vs Compensair's €5–12. For a €600 claim, AirHelp takes ~€210 vs €12. The math is clear for simple claims — but AirHelp's legal muscle matters for contested ones.
