We had a dispute with Lufthansa over delays, these solicitors took on the case and diligently helped us for over a year. I really have only good things to say because I felt like my rights as a consumer were upheld and respected.

Professional, effective, and free conciliation service

I had a very positive experience with SRUV regarding a flight delay claim against Scandinavian Airlines (SAS). The process was straightforward and professional. Although it took a bit of time (from late December to March), they successfully secured a full acknowledgment of my claim for 250 EUR. It is a fantastic free service for travelers seeking justice. Highly recommended!

With 0 knowledge of German rules

With 0 knowledge of German rules, because I'm a foreigner, they helped me with successfully fighting a claim against Lufthansa. Clear communication, very happy with the service!

I am extremely satisfied with SRUV

I am extremely satisfied with the conciliation service provided by SRUV. My case involved a flight disruption where the airline initially rejected my claim. After submitting the matter through SRUV, the process was handled in a very professional and structured manner.

The conciliation team communicated clearly and objectively throughout the procedure. They carefully reviewed the case and ensured that both sides had the opportunity to present their position. The process felt transparent, fair, and very well managed.

What stood out most was how effectively SRUV facilitated a resolution. After their involvement, the airline reconsidered the case and acknowledged the claim in full. It was reassuring to see such a professional and impartial body working to ensure passenger rights are respected.

I greatly appreciate the work SRUV does and the assistance they provided in resolving my case. Their service is an important resource for passengers who otherwise might struggle to challenge large airlines.

I highly recommend SRUV to anyone seeking a fair and professional way to resolve disputes with airlines.

Excellent service

Excellent service. After months of fighting with an airline that wouldn't communicate or pay compensation for a cancelled flight, they managed to get the airline to agree to my compensation claim within a week or so. I highly recommend.

I highly recommend this organization…

I highly recommend this organization without hesitation. They help passengers when airlines “ghost” them in cases of canceled flights or long delays of 4, 5, or even 6 hours.
This is the second time they have helped us, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart. 🙏
In December 2025, my children were stranded in Doha for 9 hours, and their support made a real difference.
A huge thank you for your professionalism and dedication.

An Industry Body That Makes Airlines Own Up To Their Responsibilities

After repeated and useless chats with Lufthansa chat bot, calls and being told my case was being looked into - then months of silence from Lufthansa, I raised this with SRV. Provided the information requested - details of which are on the booking anyway. Within a three weeks I got confirmation that I would receive the compensation and also the hotel cost would be refunded. It is sad that an airline like Lufthansa deliberately ignore such submissions and only respond when this organisation raises it with them.

Most amazingly helpful organisation

We have been helped by SRUV twice now, once squeezing compensation out of Lufthansa and once with extracting compensation from their budget operation, Eurowings. If you have a problem claiming compensation from an airline based in the EU, they are the go to organisation to help you. Just Brilliant!

I would like to express my appreciation…

I would like to express my appreciation for the professional work of Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr.

My initial complaint against Lufthansa had been rejected directly by the airline. After registering the case with SRUV, the matter was handled in a structured and transparent manner. The mediation resulted in a concrete settlement offer, which I accepted.

Without their involvement, I doubt that any compensation would have been paid.

The process was clearly explained, the communication was professional and neutral, and the case handling was noticeably faster compared to other institutions I have previously contacted.

I am satisfied with their independent approach and would recommend their service to passengers seeking structured dispute resolution.

Amazing Service! Won my case in less than a month.

After the airline repeatedly denied our compensation claim, I turned to söp for help. I was amazed at how fast they worked—within a month, they secured the compensation for my entire family (4 passengers). They handle the communication with the airline so you don't have to. Highly recommended for anyone dealing with flight delays and rejected claims. Truly a 5-star service!

Sehr hilfreich und kommunikativ

they were extremely helpful to keep pushing when the airline tried to offer bread crumbs instead of a meaningful refund. After quite a long time they succeeded. We couldn't have done it without them.

My experience with SRUV was very…Professional and fair conciliation process

My experience with SRUV was very positive. The process required patience due to the high volume of cases, but communication was clear and transparent throughout. I was kept informed and reassured while my case was being reviewed. The conciliation was handled professionally and objectively, and it ultimately resulted in a full settlement of my claim. I am very grateful for the support provided and would recommend SRUV to others in a similar situation.

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.
