Why are you entitled to 400 €?

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Berlin (SXF)
  • Arrival airport: Keflavik International Airport (KEF)
  • Flight distance: 2 431 km (~3h02)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

How to know if the flight bmibaby Berlin - Keflavik is eligible?

To determine if your flight between Berlin and Keflavik is eligible for a payout, the key criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Keflavik International Airport}). It must be greater than 3 hours.

Remember that the distance of 2 431 km perfectly matches the 400€ compensation tier. This amount is fixed and {the airline|bmibaby} cannot deviate from it through its own terms and conditions.

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Berlin airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to bmibaby (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Berlin, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your bmibaby compensation

The question of strikes is a common friction point in claims. It is essential to differentiate between a strike by bmibaby's employees (flight crew) and an external strike.

However, if air traffic controllers at Berlin or security staff go on strike, this is indeed an force majeure situation. In this case, the 400€ cannot be claimed.

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

If Berlin turns into your involuntary base because of bmibaby, the law stipulates that your essential requirements must be covered by the carrier. For a medium-haul flight, the right to care kicks in after 3 hours.

The full package of assistance includes: refreshments, hot meals if the delay warrants it, two free communications, and accommodation plus transfers if the flight is postponed. Everything paid by bmibaby.
