What Horvera does
Horvera checks your flight against the EU, UK and Swiss rules for free and explains the result with its sources. The free path already gives you the legal basis, the amount, the airline's official claim channel and the body to escalate to. The claim letter is free too. The Claim Pack, €19.90, manages the claim after you send it: a saved case with a submission-ready PDF package and evidence checklist, sent-date tracking, follow-up reminders you opt into, an analysis of the airline's reply and the escalation route for your country. You send the claim; Horvera never contacts the airline and takes nothing from the compensation.
