Ik ben geen expert, maar het lijkt mij dat ze er goedkoop van af willen komen. Ik vind dit op het web:
Can I Claim Flight Compensation On Behalf Of A Child?
Yes, you can. Children have exactly the same right to claim flight compensation as adults do.
Compensation amounts under EU261 are calculated by flight distance and length of delay: It doesn’t matter what age the passenger, everyone is eligible to claim the same amount of money. The only caveat is that the child you are claiming for must have paid something for their ticket, even if it was a reduced fare or they didn’t have their own seat. In other words, you can claim for a child as long as they were not travelling free of charge.
Children under 18 will, however, need to appoint a litigation friend to handle the claim on their behalf. A litigation friend is a responsible adult who agrees to oversee the claim on the child’s behalf.
Er zijn firma's die schadeclaims vragen in jouw naam, in ruil voor een percentje uiteraard. Als ik jou was, zou ik er zo eentje opzetten. Baat het niet, dan schaadt het niet.
