Refund and compensation Austrian Airlines: route Kosice to Vienna

If your trip departing from Kosice and arriving at Vienna International Airport operated by Austrian Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Kosice and Vienna (350 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Austrian Airlines.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Austrian Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Vienna. If Austrian Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Vienna International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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 Kosice airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Austrian Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Kosice - Vienna flight.
