Flight compensation Air Europa:
Madrid — Montevideo

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

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 9 947 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 Madrid - Montevideo is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Madrid Barajas International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 600 €.

What are the conditions for Air Europa to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Montevideo.
• 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Madrid - Montevideo trip is due to an internal strike within Air Europa, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

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?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Air Europa must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Madrid.

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.
