Airlines Design the Process to Make You Give Up
Every obstacle is intentional. They win when you get frustrated and quit.
Broken Forms That Block Submission
Airlines use outdated, error-prone forms designed to frustrate you into giving up. One wrong click and you start over.
Unclear Documentation Requirements
They reject claims as 'too vague' but never tell you exactly what they need. It's a guessing game designed to make you quit.
Contradictory Deadline Confusion
Is it 6 hours? 24 hours? 7 days? 21 days? Miss one deadline and your claim is worthless.
Lowball Settlement Offers
They offer one-third of what you're owed, hoping you'll take it rather than fight for months.
Keep More of What You're Owed
Commission services like AirHelp take 25–35% of your settlement.
On a $2,000 claim, that's $500+ out of your pocket.
