Affiliate links on Kravflyg — how they work and how the site is funded

Kravflyg contains affiliate links to AirHelp. Here we explain in plain language what that means, that it costs you nothing extra, and that it does not affect what we write.

Check your rights

Are you entitled to compensation?

If all 5 conditions below are met, it is very likely that you are entitled to compensation under EU Regulation 261/2004.

  • The flight departed from an airport within the EU, or landed in the EU and was operated by an EU-based airline.
  • The delay at the final destination was 3 hours or more — or the flight was cancelled or you were denied boarding.
  • You had a confirmed booking and checked in on time.
  • The airline did not give notice of the cancellation at least 14 days in advance.
  • The cause was not a genuine extraordinary circumstance (documented extreme weather, air-traffic-control strike and the like).

Kravflyg contains affiliate links — on some pages a link leads to the service AirHelp. This page explains in plain language what that means: that we earn a commission if a link leads to a paid-out claim, that it costs you nothing extra, and that it does not change what we write. We have collected this on a page of its own because you have a right to know how a site about your money earns money itself. Read more in claiming yourself or using a service .

What an affiliate link is

An affiliate link is a link marked so that the recipient can see that the visitor came from us. AirHelp is a service that recovers EU 261 claims for passengers in exchange for a share of the compensation. If you follow one of our links to AirHelp, submit a claim and have it paid out, Kravflyg earns a commission from AirHelp.

The commission is paid by AirHelp, not by you. You pay exactly the same price and the same share as you would have if you had gone directly to AirHelp without passing through Kravflyg. There is no extra fee, no mark-up and no condition attached to the fact that you read about the service here.

How to recognise the links

Affiliate links to AirHelp must always be marked. On every page that contains such a link there is a short note in plain language next to the link, and a reference to this page. Technically, the links go through a redirect on our own domain and carry the attribute rel="nofollow sponsored", which is the marking search engines use for paid links. You should never have to guess whether a link is an advertising partnership or not. Clicking an affiliate link does not in itself transfer any of your personal data from Kravflyg — how we handle data is described in Kravflyg's privacy policy .

Not every page has affiliate links. Plain factual pages that explain the rules normally carry no link to AirHelp — a link is placed only where it belongs in context.

It does not change what we write

This is the most important point. The fact that we may earn a commission does not affect our assessment. We do not write that AirHelp is a good choice because we profit from it — we describe the service with its strengths and weaknesses, and we point just as clearly to the alternative.

That alternative is the free route. You can always claim compensation yourself, directly from the airline, without paying a share to anyone. If the airline does not accept the claim, you can turn to ARN (Allmänna reklamationsnämnden — the Swedish National Board for Consumer Disputes), which resolves consumer disputes at no cost, or to Transportstyrelsen (the Swedish Transport Agency). A claim service like AirHelp takes a share of the compensation in exchange for handling the process for you — that can be worth it for some, not for others. We help you weigh it up on the page about claiming yourself or using a service. Read more in EU 261 .

Disclosing the affiliate partnership openly does not weaken our credibility — it is a precondition for it. A site that earns money quietly is not an independent site.

What the law says

Marking commercial content clearly is not only our principle, it is a requirement. The Swedish Marketing Act (marknadsföringslagen) requires that marketing be recognisable as marketing and that the sender be clearly identifiable. The same principle is set out in the ICC's rules for advertising and marketing communications, the international industry standard that Swedish practice builds on. Affiliate links count as marketing, and so they must be marked — which they are.

Questions about the funding

Kravflyg is funded in part through these commissions. That is what makes it possible to keep the site free for you to read. Who we are and how the editorial team works is set out on the page about Kravflyg, and how we research and fact-check the content — independently of the funding — is described in our editorial policy.
