Flight compensation Austrian Airlines:
Split — Vienna

Claim and compensation for flight Austrian Airlines Split - Vienna

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 509 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Split Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Austrian Airlines Split - 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 Split airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Austrian Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Split Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Austrian Airlines?

Starting a procedure against Austrian Airlines for a flight from Split to Vienna can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Split Airport airport to prove their faults.
