Get your Arkia Israel Airlines flight compensation for the route Barcelona - Tel-aviv

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Barcelona and Tel-aviv with Arkia Israel Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 082 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Arkia Israel Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
  • Arrival airport: Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV)
  • Flight distance: 3 082 km (~3h51)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 Arkia Israel Airlines Barcelona - Tel-aviv is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Ben Gurion International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Arkia Israel Airlines owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Arkia Israel Airlines BCN-TLV flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Barcelona.

What are the conditions for Arkia Israel Airlines to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Arkia Israel Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Arkia Israel Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

A strike by weather services at Barcelona International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Arkia Israel Airlines has no control.

What are your rights at Barcelona 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 Barcelona International Airport, Arkia Israel Airlines 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 Barcelona International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
