Regarding flight Delta Air Lines, Copenhagen - Lima

That is sad news but thanks for looking into it. At least, we are certain now that we can’t do anything about it.

Anyway, I would like to let you know that you guys provide a great service with the EUclaim initiative and I’m sure to contact you again the next time I experience a flight delay.

Kind regards

Regarding flight KLM, Aberdeen - New Orleans

Dear Sir

Just a short note to say how glad I am to hear this good news, without EUclaim we definitely would not get a penny from the airline. Infact I was elated because the incident took place last December, and EUclaim was able to take on our case after such a long time. A big thank you for the job well done!

Regarding flight Transavia, Amsterdam - Fuerteventura

I would like to thank you all for all the work you have done and efforts you have made on my behalf, in claiming compensation from Transavia Airlines under EC Regulation 261/2004. My compliments!

I admire your tenacity in this case. Your sense of justice has given me a lot of support. I advise everyone whose flight has been delayed to consult your organisation. Once again, thank you very much and good luck with your other cases.

I will know where to find you in the future...

Dear Sir, Madam,

Recently you have been in the news on radio and TV quite a lot. Although I knew of the existance of EUclaim, I watched and listened to these broadcasts with great interest. It gives me great joy to know that there is an organisation that confronts the arrogance and frequent lies of large airline companies.

At the moment I have nothing to claim, but I would just like to express my appreciation for your tenacity in so many disputes. Good work!

Regarding flight Transavia, Amsterdam - Faro

We initially contacted the airline company ourselves and got quite a reply; they would not accept any responsibility and only reimbursed our additional expenses out of goodwill. We especially did not like the tone of their reply, reason enough to explore whether there were other options available to wake the airline up to their obligations. Soon we came across EUclaim. After all the data were handed over, the EUclaim team went to work vigorously; we were kept perfectly informed of all communications with the airline, and within 4 months the matter was settled: the airline paid a substantial compensation and, not insignificantly, the airline offered their apologies for what had happened. We would have definitely not succeeded in either without the commitment of EUclaim. Compliments!

Best regards,

Robert Hekkers

First of all, let me say that I am very happy that the claim turned out to be successful. I had already kind of given up hope myself.

Regarding flight KLM, Dubai - Amsterdam

Hello Ms Noorderhaven,

To my great surprise, we received a total of almost 800 euros from our current claim with KLM. I must say, when I heard about your website it really made me laugh. Because I have travelled to international destinations for years, both for business and leisure, so I know that delays occur. Comes with the job.

The travel agency drew our attention to your website, and my parents in law who had suffered severe delays on the KLM flight they booked, strongly urged me to pursue with the claim. And with success.

We did, however, have some difficulties filling in all data on your website, and I've spent some hours on it. Again on behalf of my parents in law, thank you for all the efforts you made!

Dear sir/madam,

I would like to share my impression concerning the process of my claim by your organization. First of all I'm glad that the story is over in less than 10 weeks after i filed the claim with your organisation and received positive result which I have expected. I feel that your service is very helpful and saving lots of time for customers like me who knock the airline's door unsuccessfully and being ignored by the airline customer service who denied even an excistance of the EU law regulating my case at one point. I'm greateful for your organisation's help.

Thank you for dealing with my claim and for the result. You asked for a testimonial following your service: clear website, easy to apply, I didn't have to do anything myself, and a result I was hoping for. Were it not that I'd rather have on-time flights, I would say 'looking forward to our next encounter'.

Regarding flight KLM, Honk Kong - Amsterdam

Dear Mrs Tigchelaar,

Thank you for the work and the fantastic result. The payment of our claim certainly compensates teh misery we experienced when our KLM flight was cancelled in Hong Kong. We had to wait to wait a staggering 8 hours before it was decided that we were to fly to Amsterdam exactly one day later. Of course we were put in a hotel to kill time but we still had get quite angry to in order to get lunch vouchers. We are still unnsure about whether the claims you win will actually lead to passengers being treated better by the airlines in the future.. In any case, we will tell anyone interested about our successful claim. You fully deserve this word of mouth advertising, also because of the great and proper way of handling the claim.

Regarding flight Martinair, Amsterdam - orlando

I would like to thank everyone for their offort in helping us against big companies like Martinair. They wrote a very dim respond to our letter, something like 'try and claim with your travel insurance'. They's never heard of an EU rule, this was force majeure and more similar excuses. Immediately after EUclaim's first letter they agreed to pay 2 x 600 euros for the 25 hour delay.

EUclaim thanks. Keep it up.

Regarding flight KLM, Birmingham - Amsterdam

Dear EUclaim staff,

Thank you for all your work regarding my cancelled KLM flight from Birmingham to Amsterdam on April 8, 2008. There was no clear reason for cancellation, and I had a feeling that the morning flight was under occupied, and the passengers were put on the afternoon flight. The £8 food voucher did not compensate my discomfort and the fact that I was late for my appointment. Without any effort on my part, besides from submitting some data to you, my claim has now been granted and I will be receiving compensation. My sincere thanks for this. I will certainly think of you again next time!

Dear employees of EUclaim.

My parents and I are very pleased with the outcome of our claim with KLM. I understand from KLM's letter that they are afraid of a precedent and therefore do not admit that it is their fault. Previously, they claimed that the Euopean regulations would not apply to the rturn flight from Canada. I understand that in the meantime KLM has acceded this point, that is a strong improvement of the legal position of KLM's customers.

Thanks again for the great result.

Dear Sir/Madam,

KLM definately didn't pamper us, both the outward an return flight were one big disaster. Both times we were converted to another airline, with additional long delays. This made us lose two days of our holiday, but thanks to your dedication and professionalism we were more than compensated, so now we no longer feel frustrated. In your company,passenger rights are beyond dispute in your comapny, and we wish you great success with your business!

Regarding flight KLM, Amsterdam - Manchester

For a business appointment I had booked a KLM flight from Schiphol to Manchester. I was at Schiphol on time, and at the gate well befor boarding. I knew something was wrong because the staff were whispering. Indeed, the flight was cancelled. I was prettu upset about it, because in the previous months I'd already experienced a few problems on this route. Furthermore, I had to reschedule an important meeting. I complained to KLM on the spot. I received a ticket for the next flight and a €25 voucher. I felt I was being fobbed off and I went online to look for EU Claim, a company I had once heard of.

Initially KLM put the blame on a technical failure of the aircraft, a Fokker 100. Which was correct, but further investigation revealed that these aircraft are on the ground so often that you can no longer call it an incident. KLM therefore knew that flights could be cancelled and they could have taken action; for instance by keeping an extra aircraft on stand by. Ultimately, KLM acknowledged the error and I received the standard compensation of €250. After deducting EU Claim's expenses I was left with €185. But it's not the amount that's important to me.

i wanted to denounce the fact that the airline, whom I had an agreement with, did not meet its obligations. I'm surprised that there are not many more people who do so. Other passengers who heard me complain even said that I got much too worried about it! Next time they try to fool me I will definately do the same thing.

Dear Sir, madam,

We have received your message that our claim of flight 736 of June 23, 2007, has been paid.

We would like to thank you for the tenacity and the skill with which you have handled our claim.

Personlally we would have long since given up, with the feeling of not having a chance against such a big company. After all, in the first phone call to KLM when we got back we were already told that we were not eligible for any compensation, since the 36 hour delay was force majeure.

We find it really amazing what you did for us and are very pleased with the outcome!

Thanks again, and we will advertise EUclaim!

Regarding flight KLM, Amsterdam – Sao Paolo, Brazil

Hello there,

First of all we, Ellen Nicolasen and Pieter Peters, would like to thank you for accepting our claim, and for successfully bringing it to the attention of KLM. Despite not wanting to honour our request for compensation, they have still transferred the claimed amount out of “goodwill”. The fact that a claim filed through EUclaim does lead to a successful result is shown once again, all the more because we had already complained with Customer Care ourselves. The reason for our complaint was missing our flight because of major chaos in departure hall 2 on December 22, 2007, when we had to wait in line for 2½ hours to check in our suitcases.

Customer care did reimburse us for one night’s stay in a hotel and telephone expenses, but decided not to reimburse our connecting flights which had to be rebooked because of this. It’s clear who to go to, should you want compensation because of errors made by airline companies!

Perhaps the best thing is that a KLM purser gave us your name. He said that, in case Customer Care would not listen to our complaints, we could proceed to get compensation through EUclaim. That the actual compensation worked out more than we claimed from Customer Care ourselves, might be a signal for the airlines in general, and KLM in particular.

Furthermore there was a great article in the Volkskrant newspaper, through which we learned that EUclaim is only present in departure hall 3. It might also be a good idea to have a desk at departure hall 2, or to at least make EUclaim’s presence in departure hall 3 better known. Also, advertising in the media, for instance in the travel supplement of various newspapers, would make more people aware of the possibilities that EUclaim creates for people who have been let down as a result of errors made by airlines.

Once again, thank you very much. We will be sure to mention your name to people and spread the word about the opportunities you create.

Best regards,

Ellen Nicolasen and Pieter Peters.

Dear Mrs Tichelaar,

Thank you for your positive message. We were very pleased to receive it.

I think that many more people should make use of your organisation; however, I wonder whether enough passengers are aware of your existence. In any case, airline companies won’t get let off the hook by you, while claims filed by private individuals are hardly ever honoured.

We wish you good luck for the future, best regards,

With respect to claim 1121, I would like to congratulate you on the achieved result! The phrasing of the letters was exactly as it should be. Very clever, I am a pilot myself and pay a lot of money for these “positioning” flights, and so does my company. Despite the fact that the money has not been deposited into my account yet (I have only entered my account number a couple of days ago), I am grateful for the result and glad that your firm exists. It would be better if there was no need for the company to exist, but I’m afraid we’re all a bit too capitalist for that.

Regarding flight KLM, Detroit – Amsterdam

Praise to EUclaim, after having encountered problems in May 2007 with KLM Northwest at check-in in Detroit, and having been forced to pay $200 per person to board the plane, while our luggage was already on board!! We were a party of 4, so $800 or we were not allowed to board, even though the tickets had been paid for months in advance. We were astonished and asked for an explanation. At that point we were snarled at by one of the airline’s employees, pay up or our luggage would be taken off the plane and we would have to stay behind. We arrived in Amsterdam with a very unpleasant feeling. Nice ending of our trip. I immediately wrote a letter to the airline company, to which they replied that everything had been dealt with in accordance with the rules. I did ask them politely whether being snarled at and being forced to pay were also part of the rules, to which the Client Care division, note the word Care, replied that according to them the discussion was over, end of story. Soon thereafter I read an article about EUclaim and told them our story. It was like a warm blanket, because we were treated right and the case was taken out of our hands. Now February 2008 the case has been settled in a very correct manner. All praise to EUclaim’s course of action, correct treatment and result. Nevertheless it is bitter that only by means of this effort we were put in the right.

All praise and thank you very much.

Regarding flight Martinair, Miami – Amsterdam

On the day of the journey home after our fantastic trip to Florida, it turned out the flight had been postponed by one day, over a year before. There we were, packed and ready to go, at Miami airport. At check-in in Amsterdam, carrier Martinair had given us boarding passes on which the original date of the return journey was printed, while it was already known that the flight would take place one day later. How careless! Upon arrival we naturally enquired about why we were not informed, and asked for reimbursement of the extra expenses we had made by staying at a hotel. Martinair and the tour operator had a long think about it - too long as far as I’m concerned. After all, it was obvious that none of this was my fault. On 13 September, Martinair indicated that they were not going to reimburse me.

After I found out about EUclaim I used their online claim calculator, and then I e-mailed them to ask whether this claim was likely to succeed. It was confirmed to me that there was a good chance of success, after which I asked EUclaim to take up my case. My claim’s progress was easy to check on-line. It took a while before both sides replied, especially in the beginning, but eventually, on February 7th, I received a statement which said that EUclaim had received £1925 which, after a deduction (27%) to cover EUclaim’s costs, left me with £1405. This is a more than satisfactory compensation for the expenses made and the discomfort suffered by us.

I am convinced that I would have never been able to realise this by myself. My insurance covers legal aid and I considered calling them (that wouldn’t have cost me 27%), but I am convinced that they do not have the specific knowledge to recover this. I definitely think that Martinair stands in awe of EUclaim as a party.

I am very content with the outcome.

Regards,

Wilfred Oostenbrink.

Regarding flight Air France, Paris – Amsterdam

In October 2007 I flew from Jordan to Paris. At the time Air France were aware of strikes at Charles de Gaulle airport. The connecting flight to Amsterdam was cancelled due to this strike.

I think it is only natural for Air France to pay compensation for the 11-hour delay that was caused by their staff’s strike.

They knew that there was going to be a delay when they flew us to Paris, and they chose not to do anything about it. EUclaim quickly took care of it, and I received my rightful compensation.

Yours faithfully,

Regarding flight KLM, Mexico – Amsterdam

Thanks for the update. This morning I was wondering how things were going. I thought about it because KLM have found a new way of tricking us out of money. The Air Miles they give out are subject to so many conditions, that there is virtually nothing you can do with them. I have more than enough miles for a flight to Mexico, but there are so many restrictions that they are useless to me. Anyway, I already knew this. This morning, while booking my seat, I found out that the seat which I normally always reserve was suddenly 50 Euros more expensive! The strange thing is, a similar seat more towards the front of the aircraft was not more expensive. I think they keep a record of which seats you always book, and then try and make you pay extra for that as well. If only I had a more choices of direct flights to Mexico...

Good luck with your fight. Let them have it.

Yours sincerely,

Alberto Nevels

I am very grateful that you go to this extent because, in the first place, this is also a matter of principle to me.

Neither in accordance with the article, nor with KLM’s own regulations (see my claim which I have also sent to KLM). If needed, I am prepared to amplify on this matter. Furthermore, I would like to point out (perhaps unnecessarily) the complaints about KLM’s Johannesburg SA office, which even made the press a few weeks ago, see www.nu.nl.

Hereby I would like to thank you for helping me understand my delayed trip from Toronto to the Netherlands.

I have gained more insight by following your calculator; unfortunately I am not eligible for any compensation. I did however come to the conclusion that Martinair got away with it very easily. The only compensation Martinair offered was one 15 Canadian dollar voucher per person, for a sandwich and a coke, which unfortunately was not enough, given the airport prices.
