Flight compensation Air Europa:
Madrid — Arrecife

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

From Madrid Barajas International Airport airport, your departure with Air Europa to Arrecife didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 574 km of flight, the company Air Europa is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Air Europa Madrid - Arrecife is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Lanzarote Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Europa owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Madrid Barajas International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
