How much compensation for a delayed KLM flight from Exeter?
£220 each, if you land 3 hours or more late
Effectively one route: Exeter to Amsterdam, 592 km apart, so the figure is flat.
Claim firms take a success fee, typically 20-30% plus VAT, and more again if the case has to go legal. On £220 that leaves you about £100 to £165. A claim firm only gets paid if it wins, so lose and you pay nothing.
We earn a fee if you claim through it.
