Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Amman — Munich

Refund and compensation Air Berlin: route Amman to Munich

If your trip departing from Queen Alia International Airport and arriving at Munich International Airport operated by Air Berlin was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 747 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Air Berlin is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Queen Alia International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Amman - Munich is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air Berlin offers you a voucher for your Amman - Munich flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 2 747 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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 Amman 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

A work stoppage of Air Berlin crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

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

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Air Berlin for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Amman shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your AMM-MUC trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Air Berlin?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Air Berlin boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Queen Alia International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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 400 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air Berlin. An expert can reduce this time by half.

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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 Amman - Munich line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Air Berlin will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
