Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Palma de Mallorca — Bremen

How to be compensated by Air Berlin on the Palma de Mallorca (PMI) - Bremen (BRE) line

From Palma De Mallorca Airport airport, your departure with Air Berlin to Bremen didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 570 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air Berlin to pay you financial compensation.

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 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 - Bremen is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Bremen Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Berlin owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Palma De Mallorca Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Bremen.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Palma de Mallorca 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 400 €.

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

What are your rights at Palma de Mallorca airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Berlin must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Palma de Mallorca.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Palma De Mallorca Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

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

The amicable route with Air Berlin to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Air Berlin website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

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.

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 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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.
