Flight compensation Aegean Airlines:

Get your Aegean Airlines flight compensation for the route Zurich - Lisbon

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 723 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Aegean Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Aegean Airlines Zurich - Lisbon is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Zurich without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Aegean Airlines to compensate you?

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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Lisbon Portela Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Zurich - Lisbon flight.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Zurich airport, Aegean Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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 Zurich, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
