Refund and compensation Air Berlin: route Riga to Berlin
Your claim for compensation for the Air Berlin flight from Riga to Berlin deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.
Given the route between Riga and Berlin (839 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Berlin.
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.

- Departure airport: Riga International Airport (RIX)
- Arrival airport: Berlin-Tegel International Airport (TXL)
- Flight distance: 839 km (~1h03)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
Did you know? Even if Air Berlin is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Riga International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.
How to know if the flight Air Berlin Riga - Berlin is eligible?
Check your actual arrival time at Berlin. If Air Berlin made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Berlin-Tegel International Airport, your claim is legitimate.
Also note that the distance of 839 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 Berlin.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Riga airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Berlin (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Riga, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation
If your Air Berlin flight from Riga International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Riga 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 Riga shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your RIX-TXL trip.
