ClaimWing helps you check your flight, prepare your claim and get it filed. Start with a free human review. Then choose a $29 DIY packet or $99 done-for-you filing for your whole booking. Any payout goes straight from the airline to you.
The airline pays YOU. ClaimWing never receives or holds your payout.
Why claims go unclaimed
Filing takes work. Chasing takes patience. A refusal can make it feel easier to walk away.
According to claims-industry estimates, only about 2% of eligible passengers ever collect. About two-thirds of eligible passengers never file at all.
Your flight doesn't have to be recent. EU/UK claims can reach back 3–6 years, depending on the country. Canada has a 1-year filing deadline.
Old flights still count. Check before you write yours off.
Coverage
Compensation can range from €250–€600 by distance in the EU — £220–£520 in the UK — for eligible claims involving arrival delays of 3+ hours, cancellations or denied boarding.
Airlines can refuse compensation for extraordinary circumstances.
Eligible long delays within the airline's control — and not required for safety — can qualify for CAD 400–1,000 on large carriers under Canada's Air Passenger Protection Regulations (CAD 125–500 on small carriers).
There is no US delay compensation. Our US claims cover:
Moved to a lower cabin? Include the downgrade in your free Flight Money Check so we can review it.

Want us to handle the filing? Choose $99 DFY Filing. Under your signed authorization, we file, chase and rebut the first denial.

Compare the fees
A percentage fee comes out of each passenger's payout. Our $99 filing fee applies once to the whole booking.
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| AirHelp | 35% of the payout; up to 50% if it goes legal |
| Skycop | About 40–44% of the payout; up to 50% if it goes legal |
| AirAdvisor | 30% of the payout, plus 20% for legal action |
| ClaimWing DFY | $99 per booking, regardless of passenger count; court action not included |
The contingency cut is charged per person.
On a solo €250 claim, a 35% contingency fee is €87.50 — less than our $99 DFY fee. For those travellers, we point to the $29 Claim Evidence Packet instead. You get the evidence and letters, then submit the claim yourself.
Our $99 flat fee costs less than a 35% cut on any payout over about $283.
For a booking where four passengers are each awarded €600:
The airline pays the travellers directly. We charge the filing fee and take no percentage.
Straight talk
Airlines and regulators decide claims. We cannot guarantee eligibility, approval or payment. Our eligibility guarantee covers the $99 fee if our intake review finds the claim ineligible.
ClaimWing is a claims filing service. Court action is not included.
If your claim passes our intake review but is ultimately denied, the $99 fee stands. It pays for the filing work, not a promised result. The first-denial rebuttal and regulator complaint draft remain included either way.
We do not currently offer DFY filing to residents of Germany because of a local registration rule for claims services. The $29 Claim Evidence Packet is available there.
The airline pays you directly. ClaimWing never receives, holds or deducts fees from your payout.
Questions

Airlines can refuse EU/UK compensation for extraordinary circumstances. Include the airline's explanation in your free check so we can review it. We cannot guarantee that the refusal will be overturned.
Include the refusal in your free Flight Money Check. The $29 packet includes a denial-rebuttal letter. DFY filing includes a rebuttal of the first denial and a regulator complaint draft. Court action is not included.
Weeks to months. Airlines decide claims and payment timing, so we cannot promise a payout date or outcome. The 24-hour free-check reply and 3-business-day packet delivery are our service timelines, not airline payout timelines.
Yes. It is one $99 fee per booking, no matter how many passengers. We do not charge a separate filing fee for each person or take a percentage of anyone's payout.
Our US claims cover denied boarding, lost or damaged baggage, and refunds the airline owes but hasn't paid. There is no US delay compensation. DFY filing includes a DOT complaint draft where relevant.
You can use the free Flight Money Check and buy the $29 Claim Evidence Packet. DFY filing is not yet offered to residents of Germany because of a local registration rule for claims services.
If our intake review finds your claim ineligible, we refund the $99 in full. If the claim is eligible but is ultimately denied, the fee stands. The first-denial rebuttal and regulator complaint draft remain included. The eligibility guarantee is not a payout guarantee.
