My understanding is that there is no 1-to-1 European equivalent to class action lawsuits in the USA.

There is a EU directive that allows for "representative action" but it's much narrower scope compared to what Americans are familiar with in class action.

Yes. But there's law firms who streamline such individual processes if the business case is actually large enough.

For example there's a law that says the airline needs to pay you 400€(?) if your flight is delayed by more than 2h if it's due to the airlines fault.

There's a company that handles these cases for 130€.

That's 270€ you get and you just need to enter some data.
