Flight compensation Austrian Airlines:
Vienna — Moscow

Claim and compensation for flight Austrian Airlines Vienna - Moscow

Your claim for compensation for the Austrian Airlines flight from Vienna to Moscow deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Vienna International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 638 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Austrian Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

To determine if your trip between Vienna and Moscow entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € 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 Moscow.
• 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 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Vienna, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Austrian Airlines.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Austrian Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Vienna remains valid. The hotel is due if Austrian Airlines offsets your flight by one night.

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