Why are you entitled to 400 €?

Details of your right to compensation

  • Arrival airport: Munich International Airport (MUC)
  • Flight distance: 2 655 km (~3h19)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Remember that this law applies whether you're in economy or business, and irrespective of the passenger's citizenship.

How to know if the flight Air Berlin Tel-aviv - Munich is eligible?

The departure time is not the relevant criterion. Only the {arrival time at Munich|time the doors open at Munich International Airport} establishes your {eligibility|right to 400€}.

Compensation also covers denied boarding. If Air Berlin oversold the flight and you couldn't board at Ben Gurion International Airport, the 400€ payout is owed by right.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Munich.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tel-aviv airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Berlin (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Tel-aviv, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Air Berlin compensation

The issue of strikes is a frequent sticking point in compensation cases. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Air Berlin's own staff (pilots, cabin crew) and an third-party strike.

In every scenario, close examination of records will establish whether the conditions were genuinely exceptional. On a medium-haul, rerouting alternatives often exist.

What are your rights at Tel-aviv airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Berlin must ensure the wellbeing of passengers stuck at Tel-aviv. The threshold rises to 3 hours for flights of 1500 to 3500 km.

Don't hesitate to request this assistance at {the airline's|Air Berlin's} counter. If refused and you advance costs for accommodation at Ben Gurion International Airport, save your invoices carefully for reimbursement.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Air Berlin?

Remember that Air Berlin must process your claim within weeks. Prolonged silence itself constitutes a legal argument in your favour.

Partner legal platforms have technology to audit Air Berlin's real data and disprove false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

The reality is stark: on average, a passenger acting alone takes 4 to 8 months to obtain their 400€ from Air Berlin. Via a specialist, the time falls to 1 to 2 months.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a LegalTech firm is that they can speed up the process through industrialised follow-up and the prospect of litigation.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

A refusal is never final. It's often a first step in the claims process that professionals overcome routinely. Refuse to let this barrier deprive you of your 400€ rightfully owed.

For your 400€, don't settle with Air Berlin without the advice of a professional who knows the full scope of your claim for Tel-aviv→Munich.
