Pricing and what you get

ClaimEU261 produces your EU261 complaint letter for a one-off flat fee. This page sets out what each of the three tiers contains — before you fill in the form.

What does ClaimEU261 cost?

ClaimEU261 charges per complaint letter. The price does not depend on the size of your claim, and there are three tiers. Basic contains the finished complaint letter as a PDF, also delivered by email. Plus adds three follow-up templates for the common case where the airline does not reply, plus the filing guide for your airline. Premium additionally contains a formal reminder template, a template for the national complaint body and an overview of the court route. All prices include VAT and are billed through Digistore24. Every tier comes with a money-back guarantee. The documents are templates for you to send yourself and do not constitute legal advice.

The three tiers compared

Each tier contains everything from the one below it. What differs is how far the documents carry you when the airline does not pay straight away.

The core of Plus and Premium: the filing guide

A good letter sent to the wrong place simply sits there. Plus and Premium therefore include the filing details for 53 airlines and add the reply to that airline's rejection patterns — researched per airline rather than offered as a generic checklist.

  • The channel this airline itself names for complaints — form, email or postal address — and whether it treats that channel as the only one.
  • The processing time to expect, and any response deadline the airline commits to itself.
  • Addresses the claim does not belong to: group parent, tour operator, baggage desk or outdated addresses.
  • For each of this airline's rejection patterns, the matching reply — the part Plus and Premium add.
Example from the Lufthansa guide
  • Lufthansa names its online form as the route for complaints.
  • Direct link to the form: https://www.lufthansa.com/de/de/fast-compensation
  • Lufthansa asks for the booking reference in the form — have it ready.

The extract above is the public filing information; it also appears on every airline page. What Plus and Premium add is the reply: for each pattern this airline typically rejects with, the counter-argument that fits it.

Which tier fits your case?

  • Basic — when you only need the letter

    Your case is clear-cut, you know how to reach your airline, and you are happy to send the letter and chase it yourself.

  • Plus — when you expect silence

    The most common response to a first complaint is no response at all. Plus puts the follow-up letters and your airline's filing guide in your hands from the start.

  • Premium — when you are prepared to go to the complaint body

    You expect a rejection or have already had one, and you want every escalation step ready without buying them one at a time.

What is not included

So that expectations are right before you pick a tier:

  • We do not send the letter for you. You receive the finished documents and send them to the airline yourself.
  • We do not act as your representative towards the airline or in court, and we do not pursue the claim on your behalf.
  • The documents are templates and do not constitute legal advice. They are not a substitute for a lawyer reviewing your individual case.
  • Whether the airline pays is the airline's decision. No particular outcome or payment date follows from buying the documents.

60-Day Money-Back GuaranteeIf you're not satisfied with your complaint letter, we'll refund the full purchase price within 60 days. No questions, no fine print. Withdrawal policy details

Product type: Digital document template (PDF download)

Important notice: ClaimEU261 creates professional complaint letters based on EU Regulation 261/2004. We are not a legal service provider and do not handle enforcement. Whether the airline honours your claim depends on the individual case. The complaint letter does not constitute legal advice. We do not guarantee receipt of any specific compensation amount or payment within any specific timeframe.

Common questions about price and scope

What does a complaint letter from ClaimEU261 cost?
There are three tiers: Basic, Plus and Premium. Each is charged once, the prices are in the table above and they include VAT. The amount stays the same regardless of how large your compensation claim is.
Is there a further share of the compensation to pay later?
No. You pay once for the documents. Whatever the airline subsequently pays you is not settled with us.
What is the difference between Plus and Premium?
Plus covers the stage where the airline stays silent: three follow-up templates and the filing guide for your airline. Premium also covers the stage after a rejection, with a formal reminder template, a template for the national complaint body and an overview of the court route.
Can I move up to a higher tier later on?
An upgrade is offered once, immediately after your purchase. Adding it later is not available — which is why it is worth choosing the tier that fits your case up front.
How and when do I receive the documents?
As a PDF download immediately after payment, and by email as well. Nothing is posted and there is no waiting time.
How do I submit the letter to the airline?
That depends on the airline, and the differences are larger than expected: of 50 major airlines only 13 publish a complaints email, 31 require their own online form and 7 accept post. With Basic you receive the letter as a PDF plus the airline's contact details and send it yourself. Plus and Premium also include the submission assistant: it takes you to the right form, tells you in advance what it will ask for and puts booking reference, flight number and amount ready to copy — or, on a phone, opens the email with the PDF already attached. Legally your letter preserves your position whichever route you take; the regulation prescribes no particular form for making a claim.
Can I cancel my purchase?
Yes. You have a right of withdrawal; its length depends on the product and your country and is shown with the tiers and in the cancellation policy.
We were several people — do I need several letters?
No. Plus covers 2 passengers on the same booking, Premium up to 5. The letter states the amount for each person individually and claims the total; ready-to-sign authorisations for your fellow passengers are included, which airlines usually require. Basic is intended for a single claimant. Infants under two who travelled without a separate paid fare have no claim of their own under the Regulation and therefore do not count.

Check first, decide afterwards

In two minutes you will see whether your flight falls under the EU regulation and what sum to expect. You choose a tier only after that.
