Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Thessaloniki — Duesseldorf

How to be compensated by Air Berlin on the Thessaloniki (SKG) - Duesseldorf (DUS) line

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 727 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The compensation for flight SKG-DUS is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Berlin SKG-DUS flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Thessaloniki.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Duesseldorf.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Thessaloniki 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 of Air Berlin crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

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

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, Air Berlin must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
