The power of attorney part is a little scary. I understand they really have to handle the whole process to ensure they get paid at the end, but I surely don't take giving someone power of attorney lightly.

My thoughts as well. Can POA be limited to a specific area or case (e.g. just for flight reimbursement)?

    From getairhelp.com: > The Power Of Attorney - POA for short - authorises AirHelp to undertake all appropriate legal (judicial and extrajudicial) measures to collect the compensation from the airline on your behalf. It's a bit weird the article mentions it in the general case if AirHelp is only asking for it in regards to that specific area.

It will most definitely be a limited power of attorney for this event only. They should have called it "Representative Appointment Form" like other industries do. The latter is technically a limited power of attorney too. Edit: The following is from their EU POA form: This power of attorney shall become effective on the day of signature and shall expire if revoked by me/us in writing. This document shall be construed and interpreted as a general power of attorney and my/our Agent shall have full authority to act on my/our behalf in relation to my/our claims resulting from disruptions of flights pursuant to EU Regulation 261/04. I/we furthermore grant my/our Agent the authority to: *(1) undertake all appropriate legal – judicial and extrajudicial – measures appropriate to collect my/our claim(s) from the airline until the claim is fully settled;* *(2) collect and receive payments on my/our behalf.*

  Could a lawyer express an informed opinion about that?
