Money in the bank…
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.
