Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Berlin — Duesseldorf

Complete guide: Air Berlin compensation Berlin - Duesseldorf

If your journey from Berlin-Tegel International Airport to Dusseldorf International Airport operated by Air Berlin was disrupted, the law protects you when dealing with the carrier.

Don't miss this opportunity: the Air Berlin flight Berlin - Duesseldorf (469 km) qualifies you for 250€ per person under CE 261/2004.

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

Make sure to retain your flight records for the Air Berlin TXL-DUS flight. They are the key proof of your entitlement.

In the case of a cancellation, if you were notified less than 14 days before your departure from Berlin, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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