Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Memmingen — Calvi

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Memmingen - Calvi

The FMM - CLY 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 Memmingen and Calvi (618 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Berlin.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air Berlin is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Memmingen Allgau Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Memmingen - Calvi is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Memmingen and Calvi entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Memmingen, 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 Calvi.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Memmingen 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 work stoppage of Air Berlin crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Memmingen, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Berlin.

What are your rights at Memmingen 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 Memmingen Allgau Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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

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

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Air Berlin on your smartphone.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Air Berlin will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
