Gran Canaria — Paderborn

How to be compensated by Condor Flugdienst on the Gran Canaria (LPA) - Paderborn (PAD) line

From Gran Canaria Airport airport, your departure with Condor Flugdienst to Paderborn didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 306 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.

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 Condor Flugdienst Gran Canaria - Paderborn is eligible?

For an Condor Flugdienst flight from Gran Canaria to Paderborn, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Condor Flugdienst sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Gran Canaria Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

The impact of a strike on your Condor Flugdienst compensation
