Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Stockholm — Berlin

Claim up to 250€ for Air Berlin flight Stockholm - Berlin

The endless wait at Stockholm-Arlanda Airport towards Berlin with Air Berlin doesn't have to go uncompensated. Let's explore your options.

The passenger protection under CE 261/2004 kicks in automatically when Air Berlin fails its obligations on the 839 km route from Stockholm to 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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, making Regulation 261/2004 a powerful tool against failings by carriers like Air Berlin.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Stockholm - Berlin is eligible?

To verify if your journey between Stockholm and Berlin qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Berlin-Tegel International Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.

Watch out for traps: Air Berlin might try to offer a voucher in exchange. Don't accept anything before checking with a legal professional.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Stockholm 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
