Flight compensation China Airlines:
Amsterdam — Bangkok

How to be compensated by China Airlines on the Amsterdam (AMS) - Bangkok (BKK) line

From Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, your departure with China Airlines to Bangkok didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 9 208 km of flight, the company China Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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 China Airlines Amsterdam - Bangkok is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Suvarnabhumi Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, China Airlines owes you 600 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If China Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for China Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your China Airlines compensation

If your China Airlines flight from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol terminal is also included in the legal package due by China Airlines.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from China Airlines?

Don't fill out complex forms on the China Airlines website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 600 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

On the AMS-BKK line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of China Airlines's legal department.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Amsterdam - Bangkok section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against China Airlines is often more striking.
