Graz — Vienna

Complete guide: Austrian Airlines compensation Graz - Vienna

The route GRZ - VIE by Austrian Airlines was disrupted? Whatever the cause, you could qualify for financial compensation.

Don't miss this opportunity: the Austrian Airlines flight Graz - Vienna (151 km) qualifies you for 250€ per person under CE 261/2004.

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.

Good to know? Even if Austrian Airlines is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Graz Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight Austrian Airlines Graz - Vienna is eligible?

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Austrian Airlines proposes a voucher for your Graz - Vienna flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 250€ guaranteed by the regulation.

What many don't know: you have up to 5 years to submit your request against Austrian Airlines for the Graz-Vienna flight. Don't think it's too late even after several months.

What are the conditions for Austrian Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Austrian Airlines compensation

The question of strikes is a common friction point in claims. It is essential to differentiate between a strike by Austrian Airlines's employees (flight crew) and an external strike.

However, if air traffic controllers at Graz Airport or security staff go on strike, this is indeed an force majeure situation. In this case, the 250€ cannot be claimed.

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

During that interminable wait in the hall at Graz Airport, remember Austrian Airlines has a duty to look after you. This includes food, but also the option to send emails at no cost.

Your involuntary layover at Graz must not cost you any additional money beyond your initial ticket for GRZ-VIE. Even on a short route, hotel accommodation is owed for overnight delays.

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

An unfounded refusal from Austrian Airlines is a practice that experts know perfectly how to counter by invoking the relevant provisions of Regulation 261.
