Flight compensation Austrian Airlines:
Sibiu — Vienna

How to be compensated by Austrian Airlines on the Sibiu (SBZ) - Vienna (VIE) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Austrian Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Sibiu - Vienna flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 626 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Vienna International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Austrian Airlines owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Austrian Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Sibiu International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

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 Sibiu 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 frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Austrian Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

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 Sibiu - Vienna flight.
