Flight compensation Austrian Airlines:
Vienna — Split

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

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Vienna and Split with Austrian Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 509 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

For an Austrian Airlines flight from Vienna to Split, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Austrian Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Vienna 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 Split.
• 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 250 €.

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 250 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.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Vienna International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
