Compensair is a sensible option for a delayed or cancelled flight to or from Slovakia if you want a claims service with a lower quoted fee than some rivals. It checks your case for free and takes a percentage only if you are paid. Taply has not filed a claim through Compensair; this review rests on third-party descriptions and public reviews, because its own pages could not be fully verified at the time of writing.

Read on for how it works, what it costs, and when you are better off claiming directly.

What Compensair is

Compensair is an online service for air passenger compensation. Its public pages describe a claim tool where you enter flight details and receive an eligibility check, then it handles contact with the airline. Details on its company background were not verified for this page, so check its site for the operating company and terms.

How a claim works

  1. Enter the flight number, date and booking details.
  2. Receive an initial eligibility check.
  3. Authorise Compensair to act, if you agree to the terms.
  4. It negotiates with the airline and escalates if needed.
  5. If paid, it takes its fee and sends the remainder.

Eligibility under EU261 depends on factors like arrival delay of three hours or more, notice of cancellation and the cause. Extraordinary circumstances can remove the right to compensation. See flight delay compensation for the basics.

Fees and money

The standard fee quoted by third-party reviewers is 30% of the amount recovered, with an extra 10% if court or collection work is needed. On a 250 euro claim, 30% leaves around 175 euros. Check the live terms on the claim form before accepting. Compare that with a direct claim; see Ryanair and Wizz Air for examples.

What users commonly say

At the time of writing, Compensair's Trustpilot page carries a high score from over a thousand reviews according to a third-party summary, and reviewers often praise simple submission and responsive support. Complaints in public reviews, as with all claim services, include the fee and the time cases take. Check the live page before relying on that.

Who Compensair suits at Slovak airports

It suits travellers from Bratislava, Košice, Poprad or Vienna who prefer to hand over a claim for a lower quoted cut. If you want to compare, read AirHelp vs Compensair.
