Flight compensation British Airways:
Ibiza — London

Claim and compensation for flight British Airways Ibiza - London

If your trip departing from Ibiza Airport and arriving at London City Airport operated by British Airways was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 408 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

How to know if the flight British Airways Ibiza - London is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 1 408 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for British Airways to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Ibiza airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to British Airways (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your British Airways compensation

A work stoppage of British Airways crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

A strike by weather services at Ibiza Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which British Airways has no control.

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