Flight compensation British Airways:
Ibiza — London

Procedure: British Airways flight compensation from Ibiza to London

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If British Airways did not respect its scheduled times for your Ibiza - London flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 408 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
