Flight compensation Air Lituanica:
Vilnius — Berlin

Legal right to compensation: Air Lituanica flight between Vilnius and Berlin

If your trip departing from Vilnius International Airport and arriving at Berlin-Tegel International Airport operated by Air Lituanica was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Vilnius and Berlin (823 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Air Lituanica.

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 Lituanica, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Air Lituanica Vilnius - Berlin is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Berlin. If Air Lituanica made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Berlin-Tegel International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Vilnius, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Air Lituanica to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Lituanica compensation

If your Air Lituanica flight from Vilnius International Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Vilnius International 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 Vilnius airport in case of prolonged wait?

If Vilnius International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Air Lituanica, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Vilnius shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your VNO-TXL trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Air Lituanica?

For your Vilnius - Berlin trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Air Lituanica staff at the Vilnius International Airport counter during the incident.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

On the VNO-TXL line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Air Lituanica's legal department.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The use of complex legal jargon by Air Lituanica is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 250 €.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Air Lituanica without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Vilnius.
