Claim and compensation for flight Austrian Airlines Prague - Vienna

The PRG - VIE route operated by Austrian Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Prague and Vienna (278 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.

Did you know? Even if Austrian Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Ruzyn? International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Austrian Airlines Prague - 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 Prague 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Vienna International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Ruzyn? International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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