How to be compensated by Condor Flugdienst on the Arrecife (ACE) - Hamburg (HAM) line

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

  • Arrival airport: Hamburg Airport (HAM)
  • Flight distance: 3 346 km (~4h11)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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.
