Claim and compensation for flight Aegean Airlines Munich - Thessaloniki

The MUC - SKG route operated by Aegean Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 242 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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: Munich International Airport (MUC)
  • Arrival airport: Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (SKG)
  • Flight distance: 1 242 km (~1h33)
  • 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 Munich - Thessaloniki is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Aegean Airlines offers you a voucher for your Munich - Thessaloniki flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 242 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Thessaloniki.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Munich airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Aegean Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Munich, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Aegean Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Aegean Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Munich, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Aegean Airlines.

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

If Munich International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Aegean Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Munich remains valid. The hotel is due if Aegean Airlines offsets your flight by one night.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Aegean Airlines?

Starting a procedure against Aegean Airlines for a flight from Munich to Thessaloniki can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

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.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Aegean Airlines on your smartphone.

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 Munich - Thessaloniki line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Aegean Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
