Flight delayed by Iran Air or canceled? Rights exist, but how can we defend them?
The simplest and least administrative solution is to use a compensation assistance service. Online startups do the legwork for you. The principle is relatively basic and fast: you enter your flight number, the date of your trip and the site will go and check with the companies if the flight has really been canceled or delayed.
After a few weeks, depending on the files, you receive compensation (or not, it is also possible). But these firms put forward a success rate of 98% on more than twenty thousand procedures initiated. Obviously these sites charge a percentage of this compensation of 25%. Finally, be aware that companies like Iran Air are more reluctant to pay these compensations.
So now when you are notified when your next plane is late, even if we do not wish you that kind of inconvenience (especially when we leave or come back from vacation).
Air transport is once again in the sights of compensation companies which do not attack the hidden costs for the purchase of airline tickets on the Internet, but the difficult journey of passengers to be compensated in case of problems on flight. These startups officially call air passengers victims of overbooking, flight delay or canceled flight, to assert their rights to compensation in accordance with European regulations and case law. To this end, they have just launched a new service intended to facilitate the procedures for these injured travelers.
The compensation startup that we suggest offers to take steps for consumers in order to obtain compensation. The European Union indeed provides compensation between 250 and 600 euros in the event of flight delays, overbooking or cancellation. The compensation varies according to the distance and the duration of the delay. According to data released by air passenger compensation specialists, only 10% of victims complete formalities for compensation each year.
Concretely, to benefit from compensation, you must first register, a process that is carried out online, in just a few minutes and fill in the details of the flight concerned (company, flight number, flight date etc.) . If the file is deemed admissible, the firm invites you to send supporting documents and ensures amicable, and possibly contentious, proceedings on your behalf. If registration for the service is free, the company charges a 25% commission on the compensation it obtains for you. This levy is intended to cover the costs relating to the establishment and monitoring of this service.
Denied boarding, cancellation, delay accusing the Iran Air flight: what are the rights of passengers?
Passenger rights are defined in European regulation EC 261/2004 which dates from February 2004. It establishes common rules regarding compensation and assistance to passengers in the event of denied boarding and cancellation or delay important of a theft. Denial of boarding against the will of the traveler, in the event of overbooking, gives the right to compensation set at 250 euros for flights up to 1500 km, 400 euros for flights within the European Union of more than 1500 km and from 1500 to 3500 km for other flights and 600 euros in the case of flights of more than 3500 km. Passengers who are victims of a flight cancellation must receive compensation under the same conditions, unless the cancellation is due to extraordinary circumstances (weather conditions, political risks, epidemic, strike, etc.) which could not have been be avoided. Ditto for delays of more than 3 hours from the plane to the arrival.
The startup we suggest you propose to settle disputes dating back several years. Accessible to all consumer victims, and the damage can go back to the last two years for flight delays, or the last five years for cancellations or overbookings.
Smelling the good commercial vein, at a time when air traffic is exploding, the suggested startup has already offered for a few years to take steps to request compensation for passengers. Everything that goes in the direction of simplifying the procedures of daily life suits us.
