Flight compensation Air Europa:
Madrid — Barcelona

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

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Europa did not respect its scheduled times for your Madrid - Barcelona flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 483 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 - Barcelona is eligible?

The compensation for flight MAD-BCN is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air Europa sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Madrid Barajas International Airport, the 250 € 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 Barcelona.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Madrid airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Europa (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
