Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Palma de Mallorca — Mulhouse

Legal right to compensation: Air Berlin flight between Palma de Mallorca and Mulhouse

If your trip departing from Palma De Mallorca Airport and arriving at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport operated by Air Berlin was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 973 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air Berlin.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Mulhouse. If Air Berlin made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at EuroAirport Basel-Mulhouse-Freiburg Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Palma de Mallorca, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Mulhouse.
• 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 250 €.

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

What are your rights at Palma de Mallorca 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 Palma de Mallorca shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your PMI-BSL trip.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

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 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.
