Flight compensation Condor Flugdienst:
Hamburg — Heraklion

Your entitlement: Condor Flugdienst flight from Hamburg to Heraklion

If your flight from Hamburg Airport to Heraklion International Nikos Kazantzakis Airport flown by Condor Flugdienst was impacted, the law protects you when dealing with the airline.

Seize this entitlement: the Condor Flugdienst flight Hamburg → Heraklion (2 353 km) entitles you to 400€ compensation under EU regulation.

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.

Good to know? Even if Condor Flugdienst is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Hamburg Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

How to know if the flight Condor Flugdienst Hamburg - Heraklion is eligible?

Be sure to keep your boarding pass for the Condor Flugdienst HAM→HER flight. They constitute the key proof of your presence on board.

An class change doesn't change your right to 400€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The intermediate indemnity remains unchanged regardless of reclassification.

What are the conditions for Condor Flugdienst to compensate you?

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

Not all strike{s} exempt the airline from its obligations. If your Hamburg - Heraklion delay was caused by an staff strike at Condor Flugdienst, the CJEU have confirmed that this entitles you to a payout.

An aviation law expert can quickly determine whether the strike that disrupted your Condor Flugdienst Hamburg-Heraklion flight was the airline's responsibility or a third party's.

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

Even in extraordinary circumstances, the right to assistance at Hamburg remains valid. The hotel is owed if Condor Flugdienst pushes your flight by a day.

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

Data shows that a majority of first rejections from Condor Flugdienst don't hold up when challenged by a documented counter-claim. Don't stop at the first hurdle.

If you are confident of your eligibility, you can approach the national aviation body of the departure country, or better still, escalate the case to court with a specialist legal counsel.
