Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Miami — Berlin

Legal right to compensation: Air Berlin flight between Miami and Berlin

Your claim for compensation for the Air Berlin flight from Miami to Berlin deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Miami International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 7 991 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

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 Miami - Berlin is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Berlin. If Air Berlin made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Berlin-Tegel International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 7 991 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 600 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Berlin-Tegel International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Miami - Berlin flight.

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