Flight compensation Air Europa:

Get your Air Europa flight compensation for the route Caracas - Madrid

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Caracas and Madrid with Air Europa? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 7 006 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Air Europa to pay you financial compensation.

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.

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 Europa Caracas - Madrid is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Madrid Barajas International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Europa owes you 600 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air Europa sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Caracas, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Air Europa to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Madrid.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Caracas airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Europa (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Air Europa compensation

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

Even if 600 € is not payable due to an external strike at Caracas, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Europa.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 600 €, if the delay stretches at Caracas airport, Air Europa is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Caracas and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
