How can we help?

AirHelp and our official partners will never ask you to send us money in order to get your airline compensation.

But unfortunately, phishing scammers have been known to target AirHelp customers, asking for money to proceed with a claim.

The security of our customers is of the utmost importance. So if you are contacted by someone claiming to represent AirHelp, especially if they ask for money and/or personal details, please reach out to our customer support team for assistance. Our official channels for communication are on our contact page.

AirHelp works on a “no win, no fee” basis. So if we don’t win the case in court, we won’t charge you any fee for our services — that’s part of AirHelp’s promise.

The time limit for submitting a claim depends on the country in which the claim is filed. Here’s a quick overview:

European Union

In the EU, you generally have up to 3 years from the date of the flight disruption to submit your claim. However, this varies by country. For example:

• Poland: 1 year

• Slovakia: 2 years

• Latvia: 10 years

Here’s a full list of EU limitation periods by country.

Other countries

• Brazil: 5 years for domestic flights, 2 years for international flights

• Saudi Arabia: 60 days

• Turkey: 2 years

We recommend filing your claim as soon as possible to ensure you get your compensation.

Extraordinary circumstances refer to any events outside of the airline’s control that have resulted in a flight disruption. These are situations where a disruption could not have been avoided, even if the airline had taken all reasonable measures.

Extraordinary circumstances include:

• Strikes by airport employees or air traffic control

• Political unrest

• Extreme weather conditions

• Security risks

• Travel restrictions

• Emergency health conditions

Yes, flights disrupted by extreme weather conditions are not eligible for compensation. Airlines may cancel or delay flights if environmental conditions could affect their passengers’ safety. Extreme weather falls under extraordinary circumstances and is, therefore, beyond the airline’s control.
