Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Munich — Tenerife

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Munich - Tenerife

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

Given the route between Munich and Tenerife (3 318 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.

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 Munich - Tenerife is eligible?

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

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Munich - Tenerife trip is due to an internal strike within Air Berlin, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Munich, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Berlin.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Munich International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Munich remains valid. The hotel is due if Air Berlin offsets your flight by one night.

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

Starting a procedure against Air Berlin for a flight from Munich to Tenerife can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

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

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Air Berlin. An expert can reduce this time by half.

A collective action on the Air Berlin flight from Munich can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Air Berlin's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
