Flight compensation Air Berlin:
London — Frankfurt

CE 261 payout: Air Berlin flight London → Frankfurt

Your Air Berlin flight from London to Frankfurt was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 620 km, Air Berlin is held to a payout requirement if the delay exceeds 3 hours.

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Air Berlin from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin London - Frankfurt is eligible?

Whether your Air Berlin flight London-Frankfurt was delayed or boarding was denied, the 250€ compensation may apply for each case.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Air Berlin segment London-Frankfurt 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 Frankfurt.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at London 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

A strike action by Air Berlin's flight staff is deemed part of the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250€.

Key distinction: if the delay is caused by ground services, Air Berlin is released from paying the 250€ indemnity, but not its care obligation.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Berlin must ensure the wellbeing of passengers stuck at London. This 2-hour threshold applies to flights ≤1500 km.

If you already paid for a taxi at London City Airport due to Air Berlin's fault, collect every receipt. You are entitled to refund of every euro spent on top of the 250€ indemnity.
