Get your Austrian Airlines flight compensation for the route Vienna - Amsterdam

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 959 km of flight, the company Austrian Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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 flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
