AirHelp – Flight Compensation Tool Every Indian Travel Agent Should Know

Introduction: What Happens When a Flight Gets Cancelled?

As an Indian travel agent, you’ve probably booked a flight that was later delayed or cancelled, and your client expected you to “do something about it.” But navigating international passenger rights, compensation laws, and airline policies isn’t easy or scalable.

That’s where AirHelp becomes a game-changer. It lets agents assist clients in claiming money back from airlines—without needing legal knowledge or follow-ups.

What is AirHelp?

AirHelp is a legal-tech platform that simplifies flight compensation claims under laws like EU261 and UK261. If a passenger’s flight is delayed by more than 3 hours, cancelled, or overbooked, AirHelp files a claim on their behalf and handles all paperwork and negotiation.

Travel agents can assist or refer clients to AirHelp to help them get compensation up to ₹45,000 (EUR 600)—making it a great value-add during service recovery.

  • Claim in 3 Minutes: Enter flight number, delay reason, and date to check eligibility.

Real-World Use Case: Turning a Flight Delay into ₹20,000

A Bengaluru-based travel agent booked a group of 5 clients to Europe via Lufthansa. Their flight was delayed by 5 hours. The agent submitted claim info via AirHelp, and within 30 days, each client received approximately. ₹21,000 in compensation—at no cost to the agency. That one effort led to a positive review and 3 future bookings.
