How to get compensated from Air Berlin on Berlin (TXL) - Kerkyra/corfu (CFU)

Major delay on your Air Berlin flight Berlin ✈ Kerkyra/corfu? This happens to thousands every month. Fortunately: compensation is available.

Fortunately, for this route of 1 527 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Air Berlin to pay you a fixed indemnity. This medium-haul distance places your flight in an intermediate bracket.

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 travellers claim what they're owed (less than 15% on average). Don't let this money go unclaimed: the process, despite its complexity, is an absolute right for every passenger.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Berlin - Kerkyra/corfu is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Air Berlin must pay you 400€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Air Berlin segment Berlin-Kerkyra/corfu causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

• 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...).
