Flight compensation Austrian Airlines:
Vienna — Cairo

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

From Vienna International Airport airport, your departure with Austrian Airlines to Cairo didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 2 365 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 400 €?

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.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Cairo International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Austrian Airlines owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Austrian Airlines VIE-CAI flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Vienna.

What are the conditions for Austrian Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Cairo.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Vienna 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

A work stoppage of Austrian Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Austrian Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Vienna International Airport, Austrian Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Vienna International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Austrian Airlines.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Austrian Airlines?

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Austrian Airlines's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.
