Flight compensation Austrian Airlines:
Berlin — Klagenfurt

Get your Austrian Airlines flight compensation for the route Berlin - Klagenfurt

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Berlin and Klagenfurt with Austrian Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 662 km of flight, the company Austrian Airlines 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.

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 Austrian Airlines Berlin - Klagenfurt is eligible?

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

The impact of a strike on your Austrian Airlines compensation

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Austrian Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
