GATEHELP · HOW IT WORKS

The compensation comes to you,
not the other way.

One mandate. No call centres. Lawyers who've already won against Air France, Ryanair, Lufthansa. And a clock that stops the day the money hits your account.

A flight is supposed to land. When it doesn’t, somebody pays.

EU regulation 261/2004 has been on the books since 2005, but most passengers either don’t know about it or give up after one polite email to the airline.

GateHelp is built by an Airbus A320 First Officer and a litigation team that knows the inside of airline back offices. We don’t send templated emails — we file cases.

Chapter 01 · Boarding

Tell us about the flight. Like you'd tell a friend.

A form designed to never block you. Got the boarding pass? We use it. Don't have it? We just ask for the flight number and date. In 2 minutes you know whether you're entitled to €250, €400 or €600.
