How to be compensated by Aegean Airlines on the Hannover (HAJ) - Thessaloniki (SKG) line

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Hannover and Thessaloniki with Aegean Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 667 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

  • Departure airport: Hannover Airport (HAJ)
  • Arrival airport: Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (SKG)
  • Flight distance: 1 667 km (~2h05)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
