Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Vienna — Munich

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Vienna - Munich

Your claim for compensation for the Air Berlin flight from Vienna to Munich deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Vienna International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 355 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

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 Vienna - Munich is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Vienna and Munich entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Vienna, 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 Munich.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Vienna 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

Don't be fooled by Air Berlin's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Vienna, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Berlin.

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

If Vienna International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Air Berlin, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Vienna shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your VIE-MUC trip.
