Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Ibiza — Duesseldorf

How to claim your money from Air Berlin on Ibiza (IBZ) → Duesseldorf (DUS)

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Air Berlin didn't honour its scheduled times for your Ibiza - Duesseldorf flight, the law is on your side.

The good news is, for this journey of 1 443 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Air Berlin to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Contrary to what {many think|Air Berlin might suggest}, this indemnity is not linked to the ticket price. A budget fare offers identical protection as a full-fare purchase.

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

The indemnity for IBZ-DUS is a payout for time lost, not merely a commercial gesture. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Air Berlin segment Ibiza-Duesseldorf causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Duesseldorf.
• 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...).

A work stoppage by Air Berlin's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.
