Methodology
This ranking combines data from the 2024-2025 airline performance reports with Claimbeacon’s internal metrics from thousands of compensation cases handled over the past 12 months. We value transparency, so only verifiable operational, passenger, and customer care data were used in forming our list.
Even the Best Airlines Slip Up—That’s Where We Come In
Flight disruptions happen—even with the top-ranked airlines. If your flight in the last three years was delayed, cancelled, or overbooked, you might be eligible for compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004 or similar laws in your country.
At Claimbeacon, we simplify the claim process. Our team manages the paperwork and communicates directly with the airline—so you don’t have to. You only pay if we win your case.
