Flight compensation Condor Flugdienst:
Hamburg — Rhodos

Get your Condor Flugdienst flight compensation for the route Hamburg - Rhodos

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Hamburg and Rhodos with Condor Flugdienst? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 371 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 Hamburg - Rhodos is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Diagoras Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Condor Flugdienst owes you 400 €.

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

The impact of a strike on your Condor Flugdienst compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Hamburg - Rhodos trip is due to an internal strike within Condor Flugdienst, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Hamburg Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Condor Flugdienst has no control.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Hamburg Airport, Condor Flugdienst must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Hamburg Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Condor Flugdienst.
