Get your Air Lituanica flight compensation for the route Vilnius - Prague

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 901 km of flight, the company Air Lituanica is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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: Vilnius International Airport (VNO)
  • Arrival airport: Ruzyn? International Airport (PRG)
  • Flight distance: 901 km (~1h08)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Air Lituanica sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Vilnius International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Air Lituanica to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Air Lituanica compensation

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

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Vilnius, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Air Lituanica.

What are your rights at Vilnius airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Vilnius International Airport, Air Lituanica must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Vilnius International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
