Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Duesseldorf — Jersey

Refund and compensation Air Berlin: route Duesseldorf to Jersey

Your claim for compensation for the Air Berlin flight from Duesseldorf to Jersey deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 677 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.

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 - Jersey is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Duesseldorf and Jersey entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Duesseldorf, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Duesseldorf - Jersey 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 Dusseldorf International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Berlin has no control.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Dusseldorf International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Duesseldorf shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your DUS-JER trip.
