Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Arrecife — Cologne

Get your Air Berlin flight compensation for the route Arrecife - Cologne

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Berlin did not respect its scheduled times for your Arrecife - Cologne flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 990 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air Berlin 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Arrecife - Cologne is eligible?

The compensation for flight ACE-CGN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

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

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Cologne.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Arrecife 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 Lanzarote Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Berlin has no control.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Berlin must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Arrecife.

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 Lanzarote Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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