Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Athens — Frankfurt

Procedure: Aegean Airlines flight compensation from Athens to Frankfurt

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 816 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 - Frankfurt is eligible?

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

Keeping your travel documents for the Aegean Airlines ATH-FRA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Athens.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

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

Don't be fooled by Aegean Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € 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?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport, Aegean Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Aegean Airlines?

The amicable route with Aegean Airlines to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Aegean Airlines.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Aegean Airlines. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Aegean Airlines flight from Athens can also be a way to get your funds faster.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Athens - Frankfurt line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Aegean Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
