Refund and compensation Air Europa: route Palma de Mallorca to Valencia

Your claim for compensation for the Air Europa flight from Palma de Mallorca to Valencia deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Palma de Mallorca and Valencia (276 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Europa.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Air Europa, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Air Europa Palma de Mallorca - Valencia is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Palma de Mallorca and Valencia entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 276 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Air Europa to compensate you?

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

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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
