Claim and compensation for flight Air China Duesseldorf - Beijing

Your claim for compensation for the Air China flight from Duesseldorf to Beijing deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Duesseldorf and Beijing (7 796 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air China.

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.

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