Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Tenerife — Hamburg

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Tenerife - Hamburg

If your trip departing from Tenerife South Airport and arriving at Hamburg Airport operated by Air Berlin was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Tenerife South Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 3 574 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Air Berlin.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air Berlin offers you a voucher for your Tenerife - Hamburg flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Tenerife, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Hamburg.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Tenerife 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Tenerife - Hamburg trip is due to an internal strike within Air Berlin, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Tenerife South Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Air Berlin has no control.
