Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Athens — Berlin

Get your Aegean Airlines flight compensation for the route Athens - Berlin

From Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport, your departure with Aegean Airlines to Berlin didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 823 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Aegean Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Aegean Airlines owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Aegean Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Berlin.
• 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Berlin-Tegel International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Aegean Airlines must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Athens.

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.
