Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Alicante — Munich

How to be compensated by Air Berlin on the Alicante (ALC) - Munich (MUC) line

From Alicante International Airport airport, your departure with Air Berlin to Munich didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 497 km of flight, the company Air Berlin is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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 Air Berlin Alicante - Munich is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Munich International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Berlin owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Berlin ALC-MUC flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Alicante.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Alicante - Munich trip is due to an internal strike within Air Berlin, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Alicante International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Berlin has no control.

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