Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Palma de Mallorca — Duesseldorf

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Palma de Mallorca - Duesseldorf

The PMI - DUS route operated by Air Berlin experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Palma De Mallorca Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 342 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.

Did you know? Even if Air Berlin is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Palma De Mallorca Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

To determine if your trip between Palma de Mallorca and Duesseldorf 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 250 € 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 Duesseldorf.
• 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

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

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Air Berlin is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Palma De Mallorca 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.

Your forced stay at Palma de Mallorca shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your PMI-DUS trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air Berlin?

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

By entrusting your case regarding flight PMI-DUS to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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

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

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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.
