At AirAdvisor, we are dedicated to ensuring air travelers receive the compensation they are entitled to for flight disruptions. Whether it’s a delay, cancellation, missed connection, or an airline-related issue like overbooking. In June 2025, we launched a new service for baggage claims for lost, delayed, and / or destroyed luggage. We are present in the EU, UK, and other international markets, focusing on protecting air passenger rights globally. We have successfully processed over 500,000 claims for clients from 221 countries, learning a 4.7-star rating from 25,850+ reviews.

AirAdvisor currently handles three types of airline claims : EU261 compensation for flight delays, cancellations, and denied boarding, and three types of baggage claims under the Montreal Convention : lost, delayed, and / or destroyed luggage.
