  • Your check-in for the flight was on time (usually not less than 45 minutes before the flight).

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.

Best service. Best employees. Highly recommended!

My sisters and i flew with Norwegian and they didn’t gave us the delayed flight compensation. Really bad service if you asked me. But thanks to IF Delayed who helped us and got the compensation we deserved.

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.
