Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Palma de Mallorca — Almeria

Procedure: Air Berlin flight compensation from Palma de Mallorca to Almeria

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Berlin did not respect its scheduled times for your Palma de Mallorca - Almeria flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 538 km of flight, the company Air Berlin is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Palma de Mallorca - Almeria is eligible?

For an Air Berlin flight from Palma de Mallorca to Almeria, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
