Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Gothenborg — Berlin

Refund and compensation Air Berlin: route Gothenborg to Berlin

The GOT - TXL route operated by Air Berlin experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 571 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Air Berlin, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Berlin. If Air Berlin made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Berlin-Tegel International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € 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 Berlin.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Gothenborg 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Berlin-Tegel International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

If Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Air Berlin, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Air Berlin is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Air Berlin is often more striking.
