SmartLynx Delayed Flight Compensation

Aviation involves so many (literally or metaphorically) moving parts that some delays would happen even if airlines put every effort to prevent them. That’s why your plans can still be ruined by flight delays. And that is also the reason why Skycop is there to help you claim delayed flight compensation from the airlines!

Regulation (EC) 261/2004 forces the airlines to make available channels for the passengers to ask for compensation. But that doesn’t mean that those channels are open and easy to use. That’s why you should consider claiming SmartLynx delayed flights compensation via Skycop. All you need to do is enter the details of your flight and our system will give you a preliminary estimate of whether your flight is claimable – and how much compensation are you due. If you trust the process to us, the rest of the process will be handled by our team of experienced professionals. This means that you won’t have to bother with any dry lawyer speak or reluctant airlines!

However, there are a few things that factor into whether you’re owed delayed flight compensation. According to the regulation, the delay has to be the fault of the airline for the flight to be claimable. Furthermore, the airline can offer a voucher or something similar – those usually come with the condition that you waive your right to receive compensation. You shouldn’t! Instead, enter your flight details on our website and find out if your flight is eligible.

If your delayed flight is qualified for SmartLynx flight delay compensation, you will only need to enter your flight number, email address and a few other details to complete the SmartLynx flight delay claim. Afterwards, it will be the duty of our professional team to get you your money!

SmartLynx Cancelled Flight Compensation

Flights get delayed, flights get cancelled. SmartLynx is no exception in this case. There are many reasons why cancellations can happen. If this happens to you, Regulation (EC) 261/2004 makes it the duty of SmartLynx to either book you another flight at no cost to you. Of course, certain airlines want to add various conditions to that, but that’s how it’s supposed to go. If you don’t like the rerouting you can do it yourself, via the airline’s website. Do note that if you want to take a flight that was more expensive than your previous one, you will have to pay the difference in addition to things like handling charges and rebooking fees.

What you should also know is that the same regulation also stipulates that if the airline cancelled your flight without a 14-day notice or a rebooking option, you can claim flight compensation! EC261 states that the airlines have to make channels available for claiming compensation. However, those channels may not be easily accessible and the airlines might not be inclined to pay. That is where Skycop steps in.

If you fill a cancelled flight claim at Skycop, you hand over the hard process of getting SmartLynx flight cancellation compensation to our team of professionals. We will deal with everything the airline can throw at us. We know the law and we have a lot of experience fighting the airlines.

That said, there are exceptions – “extraordinary circumstances” – when it comes to paying compensation. If the cancellation was caused by something that can’t be blamed on the airlines – terrible weather, strikes at the airport, war and so on – SmartLynx claim for compensation will not be valid. However, most of the time, it’s a lot less clear cut and an airline might try to get away without paying – even if they should.

So check your flight at Skycop.com – our system will carry out a preliminary check of your flight’s eligibility for compensation – as well as its size! Once you claim flight compensation via Skycop, the rest will be handled by our team of professionals. You’ll be able to just relax and wait for the news!
