Refund and compensation Aegean Airlines: route Limnos to Athens
The LXS - ATH 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 Limnos and Athens (247 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Aegean Airlines.
Why are you entitled to 250 €?
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Limnos Airport (LXS)
- Arrival airport: Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport (ATH)
- Flight distance: 247 km (~0h19)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This is not a commercial gesture from Aegean Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Limnos - Athens is eligible?
To determine if your trip between Limnos and Athens entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.
In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Limnos, 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 Athens.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Limnos airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aegean Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Limnos, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
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.
A strike by weather services at Limnos Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Aegean Airlines has no control.
What are your rights at Limnos airport in case of prolonged wait?
Don't buy your food without first asking Aegean Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.
Your forced stay at Limnos shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your LXS-ATH trip.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Airlines like Aegean Airlines sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.
By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € 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?
Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Limnos - Athens line.
Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Aegean Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
