Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Kos - Munich

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

Given the route between Kos and Munich (1 789 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Kos Airport (KGS)
  • Arrival airport: Munich International Airport (MUC)
  • Flight distance: 1 789 km (~2h14)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Kos - Munich is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air Berlin offers you a voucher for your Kos - Munich flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Kos, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Munich.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Kos airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Berlin (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Kos, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Air Berlin staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Kos Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Air Berlin for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

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

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

It is strongly recommended to keep your Air Berlin boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Kos Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 400 € without stress.

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

On the KGS-MUC line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Air Berlin's legal department.

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?

The first refusal from Air Berlin should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with Air Berlin without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Kos.
