Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Berlin — Copenhagen

Guide: claim for Air Berlin flight from Berlin to Copenhagen

Your Air Berlin flight from Berlin to Copenhagen was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

The good news is, for this journey of 343 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Air Berlin to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Air Berlin from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

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

The indemnity for TXL-CPH is a payout for time lost, not merely a commercial gesture. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Berlin-Tegel International Airport without an immediate alternative entitles you to the same 250€ payout.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Copenhagen.
• 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...).
