Flight compensation Air Berlin:
Vienna — Thessaloniki

Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Vienna - Thessaloniki

Your claim for compensation for the Air Berlin flight from Vienna to Thessaloniki 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 985 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 - Thessaloniki is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Air Berlin offers you a voucher for your Vienna - Thessaloniki flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 985 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Berlin to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Thessaloniki.
• 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?
