Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Stuttgart — Alicante

Guide: claim for Air Berlin flight from Stuttgart to Alicante

Your Air Berlin flight from Stuttgart to Alicante was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

The good news is, for this journey of 1 398 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Air Berlin to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Air Berlin from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

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

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Alicante International Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Berlin owes you 250€.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Stuttgart Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 250€ indemnity.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Alicante.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Stuttgart 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 by Air Berlin's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to air traffic control, Air Berlin is exempted from the obligation to pay the 250€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Stuttgart airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Stuttgart Airport turns into your involuntary base because of Air Berlin, the law stipulates that your essential requirements must be covered by the carrier. Assistance is due from 2 hours for flights of this distance.
