Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Ibiza — Berlin

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Ibiza - Berlin

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 776 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 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 Ibiza - Berlin is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Ibiza and Berlin entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € 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 Ibiza 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.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Ibiza Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

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

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

Starting a procedure against Air Berlin for a flight from Ibiza to Berlin can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Air Berlin to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Air Berlin systems.

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

An unfounded refusal from Air Berlin is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

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