Aegean Airlines passengers Athens-Moscow: your guide to get compensated

The route ATH - DME by Aegean Airlines was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

With 2 206 km between Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport and Domodedovo International Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 400€ per passenger.

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.

Good to know? Even if Aegean Airlines is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

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

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Aegean Airlines proposes a voucher for your Athens - Moscow flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 400€ guaranteed by the regulation.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Athens, the CE 261 applies equally.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

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

The key question is invariably: which staff stopped work? If {the answer is yes|it's Aegean Airlines's employees}, {you're entitled to 400€|compensation is owed}. If it's a third party, only care remains.

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

On top of the {financial compensation|400€ indemnity}, EU regulation guarantees what is known as a "right to care". If your flight is delayed at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, Aegean Airlines must provide you at no cost with food and drinks proportionate to the delay.

The complete chain of care comprises: drinks and snacks, full meals proportionate to the wait, calls or emails, and hotel with shuttles if an overnight stay is needed. All of this paid by Aegean Airlines.

By delegating your ATH→DME case to specialist partners, you enjoy the "No Win, No Fee" principle (no cost if unsuccessful).

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

Current tools compress the recovery cycle to 4 to 8 weeks for the vast majority of cases {like yours|such as Aegean Airlines Athens-Moscow}.

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