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

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Madrid and Vigo 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 466 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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