Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Berlin — Venice

Procedure: Air Berlin flight compensation from Berlin to Venice

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 787 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air Berlin to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The compensation for flight TXL-VCE is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Berlin-Tegel International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Venice.
• 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 - Venice trip is due to an internal strike within Air Berlin, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Berlin, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Berlin.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Berlin must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Berlin.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Berlin-Tegel International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Air Berlin.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air Berlin?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Air Berlin.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air Berlin. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Air Berlin on your smartphone.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Berlin - Venice line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Air Berlin convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
