Claim and compensation for flight British Airways Duesseldorf - London

Your claim for compensation for the British Airways flight from Duesseldorf to London deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Dusseldorf International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 466 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like British Airways.
