If you got an alternative flight and arrived at your final destination significantly later than the original flight was planned.

You departed from the EU or arrived at an EU airport (when the airline is an EU-based carrier).

Great company to work with

Ifdelayed is a great company to work with. They help our clients when they get delayed at the airport. They have a claim form with user-friendly UI that’s easy to follow when trying to file a claim. Their claim processing times are quick, and they push hard to win every claim.

Amazing service – Thanks ifdelayed

I used ifdelayed for the first time two weeks ago. I filled in the simple form 2minutes while at the airport being delayed. My plane was 5 hours late and me and my family received 18.000 SEK (1.700 euro) in my account just two weeks later , ifdelayed did all the work. Super simple – great service!!
