Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Duesseldorf — Copenhagen

Get your Air Berlin flight compensation for the route Duesseldorf - Copenhagen

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 619 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.

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 Duesseldorf - Copenhagen is eligible?

For an Air Berlin flight from Duesseldorf to Copenhagen, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air Berlin sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Dusseldorf International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Copenhagen.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Duesseldorf 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

Don't be fooled by Air Berlin's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Dusseldorf International Airport, Air Berlin must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

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