Procedure: Condor Flugdienst flight compensation from Frankfurt to Funchal
No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Condor Flugdienst did not respect its scheduled times for your Frankfurt - Funchal flight, the law is on your side.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 2 836 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Condor Flugdienst to pay you financial compensation.
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.

- Departure airport: Frankfurt am Main International Airport (FRA)
- Arrival airport: Madeira Airport (FNC)
- Flight distance: 2 836 km (~3h33)

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
How to know if the flight Condor Flugdienst Frankfurt - Funchal is eligible?
For an Condor Flugdienst flight from Frankfurt to Funchal, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The impact of a strike on your Condor Flugdienst compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Condor Flugdienst 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 Frankfurt - Funchal flight.
What are your rights at Frankfurt airport in case of prolonged wait?
The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport, Condor Flugdienst is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Frankfurt am Main International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
