Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Larnaca — Vienna

How to be compensated by Air Berlin on the Larnaca (LCA) - Vienna (VIE) line

From Larnaca International Airport airport, your departure with Air Berlin to Vienna didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 036 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 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.

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.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Larnaca - Vienna is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Vienna International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Berlin owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Berlin LCA-VIE flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Larnaca.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Vienna.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Larnaca 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

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.

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 Larnaca airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Larnaca International Airport, Air Berlin must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Larnaca International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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