Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Berlin — Paris

Procedure: Air Berlin flight compensation from Berlin to Paris

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Berlin and Paris with Air Berlin? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 878 km of flight, the company Air Berlin is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Paris-Orly Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Berlin owes you 250 €.

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 250 € compensation is automatic.

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