Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:
Heraklion — Frankfurt

Get your Aegean Airlines flight compensation for the route Heraklion - Frankfurt

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 114 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.

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.

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

For an Aegean Airlines flight from Heraklion to Frankfurt, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Aegean Airlines HER-FRA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Heraklion.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Heraklion - Frankfurt trip is due to an internal strike within Aegean Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.'

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
