Summer is known for being a very disruptive season, with strikes, severe weather, and overcrowded airports often leading to significant flight delays and cancellations.
A smooth and fuss-free experience when flying can make all the difference to a trip; whether you’re taking the family on vacation or jetting between work appointments. What you don’t want are disruptions and delays that leave you stressed before you’ve even reached your destination, or worse, that delay you in getting to where you need to be.
This is where AirHelp comes in. For over a decade, the company has dedicated itself to improving the travel experience for flyers and securing them fair compensation when disruptions occur.
AirHelp now has a brand-new app, free to download on both Android and iOS. When combined with AirHelp+ flight protection, it helps take the hassle out of travel, allowing you to fly with greater peace of mind. The app turns disruptions into opportunities, supporting you every step of the journey and helping you claim the compensation you deserve when things don’t go as planned.

Introducing The New AirHelp App
Catching a flight is rarely a stress-free experience. With so much to organize, and the pressure of getting to the airport on time, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s where the new AirHelp app helps out! By taking the stress out of air travel, it gives you a smoother, more worry-free start and finish to your journey.
The app provides unlimited real time flight tracking, free of charge, something you won’t find in any other app. You get live updates about gate changes, flight delays, and where you need to head to pick up your luggage (right down to the belt number). With all of these features designed to simplify your airport experience and help everything run more smoothly.
There’s more too, integration with your calendar and Gmail means you can see exactly where you need to be and when, without having to manually transfer information between apps. Not only this, but the app allows you to easily share flight details with friends and relatives, keeping you in the loop throughout your whole journey.
When it comes to disruptions, you’ll receive alerts when you might be entitled to compensation for delayed flights. The app will also take you step-by-step through the process of claiming said compensation. As when something goes wrong with your trip, the last thing you need are more issues trying to get hold of the money you’re owed.
Depressingly, almost a quarter of passengers departing the US in 2024, 24 percent, or 236 million had their flights disrupted one way or another. That figure is expected to go up rather than down, with increases in flight numbers, ongoing issues with labor shortages, and severe weather events. Meaning it’s more likely you’ll be affected than not, and when you are, you’ll be glad to have the AirHelp app installed on your phone.
Regardless of whether your flight is delayed, the app also helps you minimize time spent at the airport by keeping you constantly updated regarding your flight status’, helping you make the most of your time.
AirHelp+ Travel Protection
In an ideal world, you would never have any issues with flight delays and cancellations, but as the statistics mentioned above show, flight disruptions are increasingly prevalent in the US. And if you are hit with problems, then you want to make sure you’re compensated in full, which will help make up for the lost money and time. Moreover, in the U.S., air passenger rights are limited compared to other regions, making services like AirHelp+ essential to fill the gap and advocate for travelers when airlines fall short.
AirHelp+ is a great addition to the AirHelp app, it expands protection coverage, providing even more benefits to enhance passengers’ travel experience. It offers a plan which fits the needs of every traveler, whether you are a less frequent leisure flyer or busy business traveler. AirHelp+ flight protection includes:
Flight Insurance: Up to $200 for 3+ hour delays, last-minute cancellations and diversions
Missed Connection Insurance: $200 fast payment within hours of missing a connecting flight
Luggage Insurance: $200 within hours of reporting lost or delayed luggage
It’s not just about the money though. AirHelp+ also gives passengers lounge access at the airport when their delay is over an hour, 24/7 live chat support during disruptions and travel deals, supplying the best offers from the travel industry. These extra touches make all the difference when you’re having to put up with delays and require information regarding when you’ll be able to get on your way again.
AirHelp+ covers both domestic and international flights, as well as business and leisure trips. Wherever you’re heading, you’ve got the peace of mind from that extra AirHelp+ safety net.
When it comes to passenger rights, the US certainly isn’t leading the way, which is one of the reasons why services like AirHelp+ come in handy. In 2024, of the 236 million people affected by flight delays in the US, only 0.29% of them were legally entitled to any kind of compensation.
AirHelp+ has a simple and flexible pricing structure, designed to suit every type of traveler, all at an affordable cost. You can choose the option that best matches how often you fly and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with being protected.
Taken together, the new AirHelp app and AirHelp+ membership are the perfect travel companions for those traveling by air. The app includes genuinely useful features for both flight tracking and airport navigation. Meaning that if you’re unfortunate enough to get delayed, thanks to AirHelp+, you have instant access to compensation. As a result, AirHelp+ instantly pays for itself, whilst you enjoy the many other benefits it has on offer.
