Procedure: Arkefly flight compensation from Montego Bay to Amsterdam

From Sangster International Airport airport, your departure with Arkefly to Amsterdam didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

  • Arrival airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
  • Flight distance: 7 898 km (~9h52)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
