Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Berlin — Alicante

Refund and compensation Air Berlin: route Berlin to Alicante

The TXL - ALC route operated by Air Berlin experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 913 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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Air Berlin, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

To determine if your trip between Berlin and Alicante entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 1 913 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 Alicante.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Berlin 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 Berlin - Alicante trip is due to an internal strike within Air Berlin, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Berlin, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Berlin.

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

If Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Air Berlin, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
