Get your Air Berlin flight compensation for the route Kalamata - Vienna

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 306 km of flight, the company Air Berlin is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air Berlin?

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

Don't fill out complex forms on the Air Berlin website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Air Berlin is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

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