FairPlane – Experts in Flight Delay Compensation Claims


Many of us will have experienced a flight delay or cancelled flight when going abroad. However, millions of pounds in late flight compensation remains untouched each year, because airline passengers are unaware of the rules and regulations in EU flight compensation. Your reasons for flying do not affect your entitlement to flight delay compensation, whether it be a holiday or a business trip, so if you’ve experienced a delay of 3 hours or more within the EU, the chances are you’re eligible to make a claim.

The consequences of a delayed or cancelled flight can have a monumental effect on its passengers, with people missing connecting flights, losing valuable days of holiday and not being able to make important meetings. What’s more, a delayed or cancelled flight can harm a person’s mental health, causing stress and anxiety.

If you have experienced a delayed or cancelled flight in the last 6 years, you may be wondering ‘How easy is putting forward a flight delay compensation claim?’

In truth, the process and procedures are time-consuming and complex; if you lose, you could risk having to pay the airline’s legal costs, too. However, we here at FairPlane have plenty of experience, with experts who have reclaimed millions of pounds in flight delay compensation for our clients. By working with us, you’ll find that we represent our clients from the start of the claim to the settlement, and we also take away the stress of having to go against the airlines in the courts directly by taking out the need to attend court completely. Furthermore, should your compensation claim be rejected, we will cover the legal costs, meaning you don’t risk losing a dime.

Historically, many airlines have rejected valid claims disgruntled passengers have put forward after experiencing a flight delay. At FairPlane, we are registered with the Solicitors Regulatory Authority, meaning that we have the expertise to legally enforce any compensation claim you make, ensuring you receive the full, fair amount you are due.

If you’re entitled to make a flight delay compensation claim but are unsure of who to turn to, at FairPlane, we can represent your claim every step of the way, which will lead to you getting the compensation you deserve. Plus, if your airline carrier isn’t based in the UK but is based in the EU instead, we will continue to take action.

Over the years we have built a solid reputation, and have built good relationships with a few airline carriers including Thomas Cook Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Jet2 but despite this, we have to issue proceedings on over 50% of all of our claims. Sadly this is because many airlines refuse to cooperate with us and fail to pay compensation passengers are entitled to. For more information, you can view our airline claims page for further guidance.

If you believe you’re entitled to flight delay compensation, then do not hesitate to get in contact with us. We promise to offer you a high-quality service, in which our team of experts will fight for your case. By offering a No Win, No Fee basis, there is no legal risk, and we will ensure to lessen the stress of making a compensation claim, so you can get back to enjoying your holiday in peace.

No risk, with No Win, No Fee

The service we provide is on a No Win, No fee basis, which means that only those people whose claims are successful will have any costs to pay. Before transferring your compensation, we will simply take our fees from the money that we have obtained on your behalf from the airline.

We are Legal Experts

Airlines rarely pay flight compensation claims voluntarily. 70% of our customers report that their own attempts to obtain compensation directly from the airlines either fall on deaf ears or are routinely rejected. Our legal experience and expertise ensures you won’t be ignored.

Find out more about our team







Our service is provided on a No Win, No Fee basis, which means that there’s nothing to pay unless your claim for flight delay claim is successful.

If your claim is successful, the airline will initially pay your compensation directly to us. We will then deduct our £25 Admin Fee plus 25% + VAT of the compensation recovered. We will then either transfer your flight delay claims directly to your bank account or send you a cheque in the post.

The compensation you receive for a flight delay or cancellation is not taxable.
