AirHelp introduces AirPayout insurance

AirHelp, a company helping passengers get compensation for delayed or cancelled flights, is introducing AirPayout insurance, a new benefit that offers customers €100 when their flights are delayed or cancelled, on top of any compensation they may be owed by the airline.

The new benefit is available through AirHelp Plus subscriptions, Essential and Complete. With Essential, which is €24.99 /year, members get AirPayout insurance for 3 future trips. With the Complete option that costs €64.99 /year, members get the insurance for an unlimited number of trips. The AirHelp Plus subscriptions offer additional benefits.

Members who sign up for the service will get notified when their flight is cancelled within 7 days of departure, delayed over 3 hours, or diverted. AirHelp will then send €100 directly to a customer’s bank account within 5 days of the flight disruption.

The new offering was developed in partnership with travel insurance startup Battleface.
