Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Berlin — Fuerteventura

Get your Air Berlin flight compensation for the route Berlin - Fuerteventura

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 3 487 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 Berlin - Fuerteventura is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Fuerteventura Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Berlin owes you 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air Berlin sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Berlin-Tegel International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Fuerteventura Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Berlin-Tegel International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
