Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Faro — Palma de Mallorca

Procedure: Air Berlin flight compensation from Faro to Palma de Mallorca

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Faro and Palma de Mallorca with Air Berlin? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 975 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Faro - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Palma De Mallorca Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Berlin owes you 250 €.

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

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• 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.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Faro 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 Faro - Palma de Mallorca 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 Faro, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Berlin.

What are your rights at Faro 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 Faro.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Faro Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Air Berlin will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
