How to be compensated by Condor Flugdienst on the Frankfurt (FRA) - Havana (HAV) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Condor Flugdienst did not respect its scheduled times for your Frankfurt - Havana 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 8 138 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Frankfurt am Main International Airport (FRA)
  • Arrival airport: Havana (HAV)
  • Flight distance: 8 138 km (~10h10)
  • Applicable compensation: 600 €

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Condor Flugdienst Frankfurt - Havana is eligible?

For an Condor Flugdienst flight from Frankfurt to Havana, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 600 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Condor Flugdienst sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Frankfurt am Main International Airport, the 600 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Condor Flugdienst to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Havana.
  • 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 Condor Flugdienst (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Frankfurt, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Condor Flugdienst compensation

A work stoppage of Condor Flugdienst crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 600 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Condor Flugdienst is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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 600 €, if the delay stretches at Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport, Condor Flugdienst is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Frankfurt am Main International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Condor Flugdienst?

The amicable route with Condor Flugdienst to recover 600 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

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

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Frankfurt to Havana can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Condor Flugdienst flight from Frankfurt can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Condor Flugdienst's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Condor Flugdienst convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
