Flight compensation Brussels Airlines:
Frankfurt — Milan

Get your Brussels Airlines flight compensation for the route Frankfurt - Milan

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Brussels Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Frankfurt - Milan 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 513 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Brussels Airlines Frankfurt - Milan is eligible?

For an Brussels Airlines flight from Frankfurt to Milan, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Brussels Airlines FRA-LIN flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Frankfurt.

What are the conditions for Brussels Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Brussels Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Frankfurt - Milan trip is due to an internal strike within Brussels Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Frankfurt, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Brussels Airlines.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Frankfurt am Main International Airport, Brussels Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Frankfurt am Main International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Brussels Airlines.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Brussels Airlines?

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Brussels Airlines flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Brussels Airlines. An expert can reduce this time by half.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Brussels Airlines on your smartphone.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Frankfurt - Milan line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Brussels Airlines will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
