Legal right to compensation: Aegean Airlines flight between Moscow and Heraklion

Your claim for compensation for the Aegean Airlines flight from Moscow to Heraklion deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Domodedovo International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 434 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Aegean Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Domodedovo International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

To determine if your trip between Moscow and Heraklion entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.
