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

"A 'specific' power of attorney imposes limits upon the named representative, and may restrict the scope of that person's powers to a single type of conduct or a single transaction."

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.
