Get your Air Berlin flight compensation for the route Stuttgart - Jersey

From Stuttgart Airport airport, your departure with Air Berlin to Jersey didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

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.
