Travel Tip: A New Way You Can Claim Denied Boarding Compensation [ 1:00 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download
Most of us are somewhat familiar with the rules of denied boarding compensation.
This is what happens when you get bumped from your flight even though you have a valid reservation.
This also happens when your flight is delayed or the airline loses your bag.
But what happens when you’re flying overseas—especially in European Union countries?
Europe is always a bit behind the U.S. when it comes to recognizing—and then enforcing—passenger rights.
But lately the EU has caught up.
Now passengers can claim compensation when there are problems on European flights. Check out the global passenger rights service provider, Refund.Me.
If your flight is delayed or you miss a connecting flight—or the airline loses your bags—you can collect up to 600 Euros per incident.
They get a percentage of every claim they receive, but think about it: it’s more or less found money. In the last three years, Refund.Me has secured more than $12 million in claim money for passengers.
