Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Duesseldorf — Hurghada

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Duesseldorf - Hurghada

The DUS - HRG 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 3 511 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

Did you know? Even if Air Berlin is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Dusseldorf International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air Berlin offers you a voucher for your Duesseldorf - Hurghada flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 600 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Air Berlin is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Air Berlin for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Duesseldorf remains valid. The hotel is due if Air Berlin offsets your flight by one night.
