How to be compensated by Aegean Airlines on the Duesseldorf (DUS) - Athens (ATH) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Aegean Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Duesseldorf - Athens flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 003 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 Duesseldorf - Athens is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Eleftherios Venizelos 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 DUS-ATH flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Duesseldorf.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Athens.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Duesseldorf 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 Duesseldorf, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Aegean Airlines.

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

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Dusseldorf International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Aegean Airlines.
