Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Nuernberg — Thessaloniki

Refund and compensation Air Berlin: route Nuernberg to Thessaloniki

If your trip departing from Nuremberg Airport and arriving at Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport operated by Air Berlin was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Nuremberg Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 365 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

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 Nuernberg - Thessaloniki is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air Berlin offers you a voucher for your Nuernberg - Thessaloniki flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 365 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. 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 Thessaloniki.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Nuernberg 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 Nuernberg - Thessaloniki trip is due to an internal strike within Air Berlin, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Nuremberg Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Berlin has no control.

What are your rights at Nuernberg 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.

Your forced stay at Nuernberg shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your NUE-SKG trip.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Airlines like Air Berlin sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

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

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.
