Flight compensation Air Europa:
Madrid — La Romana

Get your Air Europa flight compensation for the route Madrid - La Romana

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 6 624 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 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The compensation for flight MAD-LRM 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 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 La Romana.
• 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...).

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.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Air Europa is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Madrid 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 Madrid Barajas International Airport airport, Air Europa is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Madrid Barajas International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Air Europa.
