Get your Air Europa flight compensation for the route Palma de Mallorca - Paris

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Air Europa did not respect its scheduled times for your Palma de Mallorca - Paris 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 1 020 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Palma De Mallorca Airport (PMI)
  • Arrival airport: Paris-Orly Airport (ORY)
  • Flight distance: 1 020 km (~1h17)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

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 Palma de Mallorca - Paris is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Paris-Orly Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Air Europa owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Air Europa PMI-ORY flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Palma de Mallorca.

What are the conditions for Air Europa to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Paris.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Palma de Mallorca airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Air Europa (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Palma de Mallorca, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Air Europa compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Paris-Orly Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Palma De Mallorca Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

What are your rights at Palma de Mallorca airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Palma De Mallorca Airport airport, Air Europa is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Palma De Mallorca Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Air Europa.
