My experience with a professional company
I would like to sincerely thank Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr for their professionalism, impartiality, and support throughout my case. After several unsuccessful attempts to resolve my claim directly with the airline, the conciliation process led to a fair and satisfactory outcome. The service was well organized, transparent, and completely free of charge. I highly recommend SRUV to anyone seeking assistance with a travel-related dispute.
Air France ignored my claim for months…
Air France ignored my claim for months after a cancelled flight left my family stranded overnight. I found this conciliation body, filled out their free online form, and four days later the airline agreed to pay everything. No lawyer, no costs, no stress. If an airline is giving you the runaround, use this — it works.
Outstanding
Outstanding; very helpful, crystal clear guidance from start to finish with an excellent website. Faultless, thoroughly professional. An object lesson in how arbitration services should work
I highly recommend this service
I highly recommend this service! They are very professional, efficient, and responsive. I had a dispute with an airline, and thanks to their help, everything was resolved in less than a month.
A special thank you to Juliane for handling my case with professionalism and efficiency. I’m truly grateful for all your help!
Great Org
Overall very helpful always. Great team, as long as you have a valid claim they will always execute flawlessly
Reimbursement for Airline Tickets
Our airline cancelled our tickets from Berlin to the Middle East and did not offer alternative flights. We found and paid for our own alternative flights, but the airline then refused to reimburse the alternative fare despite being bound to do so by their Passenger Rights Charter. We turned to Schlichtung-Reise-unde-Verkehr who got their lawyers on the case, and after almost a year, the airline has finally paid up and reimbursed the money back to our bank account. We are very grateful to the Schlichtung Company for their intervention. We know that due to their professionalism, they are inundated with cases, and therefore it had to take time, but we received professional updates throughout, and felt very secure it was in good hands and was being taken care of, and indeed it was. Thank you to the company for their professionalism and capabilities.
Excellent service
Excellent service
Very simple process. I knew my claim was valid but the airline denied it. I used AI to help gather my arguments together and submitted it via the Schlichtung Reise Und Verkehr service. They made everything easy and simple and, though it took a little while to process (4 weeks), they managed my expectations and communicated clearly and effectively. It's great that there is no charge for this and they seem fully independent (Lufthansa accepted my claim) and I encourage anyone who has had an airline compensation claim denied to use them. You have nothing to lose!
Claim against Lufthansa
I had an excellent experience with Schlichtung Reise Und Verkehr.
After several months of unsuccessful correspondence with Lufthansa regarding a disrupted journey and a compensation claim, I submitted my case through the conciliation process. The submission process was straightforward, and the team reviewed the information I provided professionally and impartially.
I only received one update during the process, informing me that Lufthansa had accepted liability and agreed to settle the claim. The outcome was fair, and I am very grateful for the assistance provided.
I would highly recommend Schlichtungs Reise Und Verkehr to anyone who has been unable to resolve a travel dispute directly with an airline.
Thank you for your help.

Great service for free
Precise, timely, smooth and professional assistance but for free. It was about refund from Qatar Airways (Qatar's support failed to reply in any helpful manner) for flight delay.
The process was very smooth
The process was very smooth. The conciliation form was easy to understand and fill, the communication was clear and helpful
Excellent experience with SRUV
Excellent experience with SRUV. After four months of back-and-forth with Lufthansa on an EU 261 claim — each response advancing a different (and contradictory) legal basis for refusal — I filed with SRUV. The case number was assigned within two weeks of filing, exactly as their confirmation letter said it would be. The process was entirely documentary, free of charge, and the communication from the team (in English) was clear and prompt. After I filed with SRUV, Lufthansa finally offered their first financial settlement of €50 as a 'goodwill payment' against a €600 claim. After I rejected that offer, Lufthansa acknowledged the full €600 within ten days rather than have SRUV issue a written legal assessment. The matter was settled in full from filing to resolution in under six weeks. I would recommend SRUV without reservation to any passenger facing an unreasonable refusal from an airline. Thank you to the SRUV team.
We had a long and tiresome discussion…
We had a long and tiresome discussion with the airline which seemed never ending, after the staff of Schlichtung Reise und Verkehr took the case, we landed on a settlement much to our satisfaction, and though we missed deadlines on our side due to technical issues, the staff were very quick to get the matter resolved.
The most efficient Arbitration Board!
The most efficient Arbitration Board! I have been dealing with many ADR and so far SRUV stand out to be the best in terms on efficiency and solution.
Keep up the great job!
I Filed a Conciliation Request Against Lufthansa and Got Results
I filed a conciliation request against Lufthansa through Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr after a missed connecting flight in Frankfurt that left my family including a 3 year old stranded for 5 days. The process was straightforward, completely free, and handled professionally. Within weeks of submitting, Lufthansa made a settlement offer which was forwarded to me promptly. The team was clear in their communication throughout. Highly recommend this service to anyone facing a dispute with an airline or transport company.
Prompt service and excellent result
I put in a conciliation request to this company because the airline advised we were not due compensation due to ‘extraordinary circumstances’. We have now been awarded the compensation requested which was dealt with very promptly - a very good result for us. Thank you
Help with Lufthansa
Since I havent got any contact with Lufthansa, Schlichtung Reise Und Verkehr did it instead of me, helped me very proffesional, quickly and all recommendations to them.
Very good and professional legal…
Very good and professional legal support. My process was a bit time consuming, but I was reasured by the staff to wait. Finally my claim has been fully supported and is to be paid by the Airlines soon.
Thank you so much for the excellent and…
