Claim and compensation for flight Austrian Airlines Linz - Duesseldorf

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

By taking off from Linz Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 632 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

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