Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Athens — Alexandria

Procedure: Aegean Airlines flight compensation from Athens to Alexandria

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Aegean Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Athens - Alexandria flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 942 km of flight, the company Aegean Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Athens - Alexandria is eligible?

The compensation for flight ATH-HBE is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Alexandria.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Athens airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aegean Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Aegean Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Athens - Alexandria trip is due to an internal strike within Aegean Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Athens, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Aegean Airlines.

What are your rights at Athens airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, Aegean Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Aegean Airlines.
