Why book this way

Know your rights before you give up

Many passengers never claim what they are owed, because the rules feel complicated. They’re simpler than they look.

Rules protect you

Malaysia’s Aviation Consumer Protection Code and the EU’s EU261 rules set out what airlines owe you.

Claims take time

Airlines often respond slowly. A claim service handles the follow-up for you.

No win, no fee

Claim services usually charge only if your claim succeeds. Check their fee first.

How it works

Three steps

Check eligibilityEnter your route and what happened to your flight.
Submit documentsAdd your booking reference and boarding pass or e-ticket.
Get paidIf successful, compensation is paid to you, minus the service’s fee if you used one.

Tips from Fazla

From someone who prices and issues airline tickets for a living
  • Keep your boarding pass, e-ticket and receipts for meals or hotels you paid for.
  • Ask the airline in writing for the reason for the delay. It matters for your claim.
  • In Malaysia, if a covered flight is delayed five hours or more you can choose a full refund instead of flying. Read your rights.
  • You can always claim directly with the airline for free. A service is optional and charges a fee.
