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

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Berlin did not respect its scheduled times for your Graz - Palma de Mallorca flight, the law is on your side.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.
