How to be compensated by Aeroflot Russian Airlines on the Amsterdam (AMS) - St. Petersburg (LED) line

From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, your departure with Aeroflot Russian Airlines to St. Petersburg didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 773 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.

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.
