Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Berlin — Heraklion

Claim and compensation for flight Aegean Airlines Berlin - Heraklion

The TXL - HER route operated by Aegean Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Berlin and Heraklion (2 132 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Aegean Airlines.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Aegean Airlines.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Heraklion. If Aegean Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Berlin, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Heraklion.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Berlin 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

A work stoppage of Aegean Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Berlin, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Aegean Airlines.

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

If Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Aegean Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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

It is strongly recommended to keep your Aegean Airlines boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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

Airlines like Aegean Airlines sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
