Refund and compensation Air Berlin: route Hamburg to Thessaloniki

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

Given the route between Hamburg and Thessaloniki (1 752 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Berlin.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air Berlin.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
