Guide: compensation for Brussels Airlines flight from Brussels to Moscow

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Brussels Airlines failed to meet its timetable for your Brussels → Moscow flight, EU law backs you up.

Whether you paid €50 or €500, the compensation remains the same: 400€ per passenger. {The distance|The 2 261 km} matters, not the ticket price. This medium-haul journey qualifies for a substantial payout.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

  • Departure airport: Brussels Airport (BRU)
  • Arrival airport: Domodedovo International Airport (DME)
  • Flight distance: 2 261 km (~2h50)
