Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Berlin — Stuttgart

Refund and compensation Air Berlin: route Berlin to Stuttgart

The TXL - STR route operated by Air Berlin experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 517 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air Berlin.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Stuttgart. If Air Berlin made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Stuttgart Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 517 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Berlin - Stuttgart trip is due to an internal strike within Air Berlin, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Berlin-Tegel International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Berlin has no control.

What are your rights at Berlin airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Air Berlin, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
