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

The irony: the longer Aegean Airlines stalls paying your 400€, the more the total amount can increase with interest. Experts know this to speed up settlement.

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

As a last resort, it is court action that often unlocks payment. Aegean Airlines will almost always choose to pay the 400€ rather than face lawyer fees for a case doomed to fail in court.
