AirAdvisor review

AirAdvisor ranks second because it charges less than the market leader while keeping the fee simple. Its price list sets a 30% success fee, including VAT, for claims settled before court, and shows the math: on €600 of compensation the fee is €180 and you receive €420. If the airline refuses and external lawyers are needed, the fee rises to 50%. AirAdvisor says it pays court fees, state duties and notary fees during collection, so a failed case costs you nothing. Beyond EU261 and UK261 delay claims, it handles ticket refunds, extra expenses and lost or delayed baggage under a separate fee table. The company says it has 830,000 clients and a 98% success rate; these are its own figures. Its claim to be at least 14.3% cheaper than rivals also comes from its own research, so compare the published percentages yourself.
