Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Gran Canaria — Cologne

Get your Air Berlin flight compensation for the route Gran Canaria - Cologne

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 3 175 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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 Gran Canaria - Cologne is eligible?

The compensation for flight LPA-CGN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Gran Canaria Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Cologne.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Gran Canaria 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 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Gran Canaria 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 Gran Canaria Airport, Air Berlin must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Gran Canaria Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Air Berlin?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Cologne Bonn Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Air Berlin flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air Berlin. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Air Berlin on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Gran Canaria - Cologne line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Air Berlin convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
