Refund and compensation British Airways: route Menorca to London

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

By taking off from Menorca Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 334 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.

Did you know? Even if British Airways is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Menorca Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at London. If British Airways made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at London City Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 334 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 Menorca 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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by British Airways staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Menorca - London flight.

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

Your forced stay at Menorca shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your MAH-LCY trip.
