Claim and compensation for flight Air Berlin Westerland - Duesseldorf

The GWT - DUS route operated by Air Berlin experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 416 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Air Berlin is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Westerland Sylt Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

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

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

• 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 Westerland airport.
