We´re happy we bought Ifdelayed Premium annual plan. My family and I received €2400 for a delayed flight from New York recently and we got to keep 100% of the commission thanks to Ifldelayed Premium.

14 days from start to money in the bank, very good job. Hopefully I will not have to use their services again, but if I do get delayed again – for sure I will. Without doubt.

Money in the bank about three months later! My only criticism would be the lack of status updates throughout the process, otherwise top notch.

Quick, smooth and very supportive. Even though I could fight the airline myself (and have done so in the past) Ifdelayed made it so much easier and totally worth the cost!

I was very conveniently contacted by Ifdelayed after I experienced a cancelled flight. I wasn’t aware that I could get compensation, so I was positively surprised.
It’s surely quicker to handle this through Ifdelayed.com than to figure out how to do the claim yourself.

I’m happy that I used the services of IFDELAYED

I’m happy that I used the services of IFDELAYED even though I couldn’t receive the full compensation due to “capacity issues in Germany and many other countries in the EU”. Nevertheless my additional expenses like hotel and transfer were paid for as well. I would definitely recommend this company if you have any kind of issues with your flight.

ما خوشحالیم که برنامه سالانه Ifdelayed Premium را خریده ایم. من و خانواده ام به تازگی 2400 یورو برای تأخیر در پرواز از نیویورک دریافت کردیم و ما به لطف Ifldelayed Premium توانستیم 100 فیصد خسارت را برای خود نگه داریم.
