A few years ago, I found myself stuck at an airport after a last-minute flight cancellation. Like most people, I felt powerless, confused, and frustrated. The airline gave me vague excuses and no clear answers, leaving me stranded miles from my destination with no idea what to do next.
I thought, Surely there are laws to protect passengers in situations like this… right? That question sparked a journey that eventually became my business, Claim It Back. Today, I help travelers just like you reclaim their rights and turn travel chaos into compensation.
Let me take you behind the scenes of how it all works—and why it matters.

The Turning Point: A Personal Flight Nightmare
It all started with a flight from London to Tel Aviv. I was excited about my trip, but after hours of waiting at the gate, the airline announced the flight was canceled. They offered no food vouchers, no hotel, and no alternative flights until two days later. Like many travelers, I didn’t know my rights or how to demand better treatment.
When I got home, I decided to look into the laws around air travel. What I discovered shocked me: airlines are required by law to compensate passengers in many situations, but they rarely tell you about it. Most people, like me, simply don’t know they’re entitled to anything.
From Frustration to Action
After months of researching laws like EC 261/2004 and the Israeli Aviation Services Law, I realized two things:
1. These laws exist to protect passengers, but they’re not always easy to navigate.
2. Airlines rely on passengers’ lack of knowledge to avoid paying out compensation.
That’s when I knew I had to do something. I started Payback to help travelers understand their rights and make the claims process simple.

Real Stories From Real Travelers
Since starting Payback, I’ve worked with many passengers, each with their own unique story. Here are just a few:
The Honeymoon That Almost Didn’t Happen
A newlywed couple missed their connecting flight to Bali after a delay in Paris. They spent the first night of their honeymoon stuck in an airport lounge, unsure if they’d make it to their destination. We secured €1200 in compensation, which they used to extend their trip and make up for lost time.
The Business Trip Disaster
A client missed a critical meeting in Berlin after being denied boarding due to overbooking. We filed a claim under EU law and secured €400 compensation, plus reimbursement for his additional travel expenses.
The Family Vacation Save
A family’s dream trip to Disneyland Paris began with a six-hour delay. They assumed they were out of luck, but we filed a claim and got them €1600. The compensation helped cover the cost of their entire vacation.

Why This Matters
For me, this business is more than just filing claims—it’s about giving people back what they’re owed and holding airlines accountable. Every traveler deserves fair treatment, whether they’re flying for work, vacation, or family.
I know how overwhelming it can feel to navigate airline policies and legal jargon. That’s why I built Payback: to simplify the process and make sure you never feel powerless at the gate again.
