Excellent and quick resolution of the matter

Unfortunately, I had to use this service after Lufthansa rejected my compensation request for a flight delay of more than 8 hours. When SRUV accepted my application, Lufthansa agreed to the compensation and the case was resolved within a few days.

They helped me settle a matter with Ryanair

They helped me settle a matter with Ryanair of a cancelled flight that I needed to rebook with an different airline because Ryanair was unable to offer an alternative. When I tried to get the reimbursement directly from Ryanair, their support team rejected my claim.

I approached Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr e.V. for help and could not be happier. The process was smooth and easy and my claim was fully acknowledged.

Perfect!

Excellent professional and efficient service.

They have been so professional and helpful in a case where we felt helpless in our situation with the airline. Have escalated to Schlichtung Reise Und Verkehr, see were straight away out at ease because of their independent stance and expertise in this area. The matter was resolved with an outcome we were pleased with. They have a very heavy workload of cases, so it can take time, but it is worth being patient.

Excellent support from SRUV

Excellent support from SRUV! I would highly recommend, not just for their professionalism and courtesy, but also for the transparency of the conciliation recommendation.

I reached out to SRUV after Swiss Air rejected my EC261 compensation request, citing "weather issue". After SRUV took my case, an offer from the airline came promptly, which still didn't feel fair to me. I really appreciate the time and effort that SRUV took to review the case against legal and reasonable grounds, to then provide a recommendation with clear reference to the considerations taken. This was then accepted by both myself and the airline.

As a consumer trying to assert my right with large corporation, I felt assured and extremely grateful for having the support from an impartial professional like SRUV.

SRUV won where the airline failed!

I was about to start a 7,000km motorcycle trip, but my luggage was delayed. With a strict departure schedule and no time to wait, I had to buy expensive replacement gear (helmet, safety equipment, and tools) just to join my group on time.
Lufthansa’s customer service was a total disappointment. It took them 3 months to give me a first response, and they only offered to cover only 12% of my costs. They completely ignored the fact that this was essential safety equipment for a remote trip.
Thankfully, I found SRUV. They were serious, professional, and very responsive from the start. While the airline ignored me, SRUV stood up for me. Thanks to their great support, I finally received a fair settlement in just 3 weeks.
If you are stuck in a similar situation, don’t waste months fighting alone. SRUV is the real deal and they get results!

Excellent service

Excellent service, they were able to make Lufthansa pay what they were supposed to do from the beginning. I strongly recommend SRUV. Also, top notch customer service.

Professional company

The conciliation procedure was really accurate, safe and effective. There is nothing to pay for the company and despite taking months to complete the procedure, they never forget about your claim. They are patient and professional.

Fully recommend their services

SRUV handled my case with professionalism, transparency and efficiency. After months of struggling with the airline, their mediation helped resolve the dispute fairly and without further stress. It’s deeply reassuring to see that there are trustworthy institutions that help individuals stand up to powerful companies. I’m very grateful for their work and fully recommend their services.

Baggage delayed in Lufthansa Airlines

I traveled from Tallinn to Thiruvananthapuram by Lufthansa Airlines. My baggage was delayed and was not delivered. I contacted Lufthansa customer service many times but their response was not satisfactory. So I contacted Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr e.V. by submitting an online form with full information. After a week, they contacted me that they are now contacting Lufthansa and within a few days they mediated and got me a compensation. I am thankful to them for their service.

Excellent, amazing and professional Service, very impressive. Well done SRUV.

I am very impressed with help that I have received
I cannot thanks enough SRUV, they were extremely helpful, competent and professional..
SRUV worked well for my flight compensation request. My Lufthansa flight was delayed over 3 in Manchester in summer 2024, consequently lost my connection in Germany to Cairo, and had to book a hotel waiting for another connection flight to Cairo. Lufthansa first refused to pay compensation for the delay, hotel costs and taxis from the airport to hotel and back, they reply and send always email content regardless of the issue (if it’s a flight delay, complaint about a service or even if you ask about information), which is “”” Kindly note that Regulation (EC) No. 261/2004 applies to flights departing from EU member states and flights arriving in EU member states from third countries
“”” . The only logical explanation for this behaviour is that Lufthansa’s staff can’t read or just don’t want to read.

Anyway, after fighting with Lufthansa’s incompetent staff, they offered 50% refund of hotel cost only, nothing for taxis and delay!!!. And after another fighting they offered 50% of hotel cost and taxis!!!! For me it looks like Lufthansa’s staff thinks that it’s an oriental bazar, so they haggle.
So, I had enough of dealing with such incompetent staff, and contacted this excellent and free agency, SRUV.

The online application was very clear and easy to complete, it is in English and German.
It took about a year, but finally Lufthansa paid the full compensation. SRUV did an excellent service, they were transparent, very friendly, helpful and kept me updated about the process per email from time to time.

I'm very impress with the excellent service, which SRUV provides and can’t thanks them enough for resolving this matter.

I am really very pleased and relieved.

Thank you very much again for the professional, excellent and brilliant service. Really well done.

Expected more assistance

I initially believed that the conciliation procedure in Germany would provide more active assistance in resolving the dispute with the airline. Instead, I found myself feeling that my only option was either to accept Lufthansa’s offer or seek private legal help. I understand the constraints of your mandate, but I had expected a more supportive mediation between the parties.

I had a very positive experience with SRUV during my conciliation procedure with Lufthansa. The team was professional, efficient, and always clear in their communication.

They helped me reaching a satisfactory settlement even after the airline initially refused my claim.

The process through their online platform was simple, well-explained.

I highly recommend SRUV to anyone needing assistance with airline disputes or passenger rights.

Thank you for your excellent service.

Time and Energy saver!

It took them less than two weeks to get the flight carrier to pay what they promised to me when there was the flight irregularity, payment that this flight carrier was dragging for more than a month hiding under robotic incorrect messages.

I fully recommend them!
It's a time and energy saver!
Thank you Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr e.V. !

Awesome service!

I contacted SRUV after being unsuccessful with my claim from Lufthansa. I had 2 flights cancelled and one denied boarding due to overbooking. SRUV responded right away and got me a compensation offer from Lufthansa in a very short time. Very fast and simple process. I would recommend SRUV to anyone in need of help with compensations.
