Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Dortmund — Palma de Mallorca

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Dortmund - Palma de Mallorca

The DTM - PMI 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 1 383 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 Dortmund - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

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

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Palma de Mallorca.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
