What is reflights?
Reflights specializes in helping air passengers with their flight compensation claims. Our team of experts handles the entire claim process on behalf of clients, ensuring their rights are protected and claims are effectively pursued.
We offer a streamlined approach, handling all communication with airlines to secure the maximum compensation possible.
Our primary role is to assist passengers in navigating the Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) and filing compensation claims when appropriate. Reflights does not provide legal advice or services but instead offers support and guidance to passengers throughout the compensation process.
Why use reflights?
Airlines have gained a reputation for making it challenging for individuals to claim the compensation they rightfully deserve. Exploiting the lack of legal knowledge or awareness of passengers, they often gain an unfair advantage in such situations.
Use reflights if you want to spend your time in stuff that adds value to your life, instead of dealing with the airline for your traveller rights.
