They got me my Money back!

It took them around 6 months to do it but it was worth the wait.
Just got a reply that they managed to get me 600£ back.

To know that someone out there was willing to go help the ones who can’t do this themselves for a small fee. It’s very comforting.

Now i know i can rely on someone if there’s delays in the future!

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

Value to our customers

Using Ifdelayed gives true value to our customers. Their service is easy to use and helps passengers claim compensation in the event of a delayed or cancelled flight. It also saves time, as it can be difficult to claim compensation on your own to the airline. It’s also valuable for us to have a partner who can guide our clients when it comes to their rights and options in these cases.

Travel Buddy

Flexible partner

We recommend partnering with Ifdelayed. They offer flexible commission payments and they’re a great company to work with overall. Ifdelayed has a great, friendly team that’s always ready to help if you have questions. They offer a useful service that our clients greatly benefit from.

Made me aware of that I could get compensation for the delay. The registration process could have been easier and the fee to Ifdelayed.com is high.

Quick, smooth and very supportive.

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!
