Legal right to compensation: Condor Flugdienst flight between Heraklion and Stuttgart

The HER - STR route operated by Condor Flugdienst experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 977 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

  • Arrival airport: Stuttgart Airport (STR)
  • Flight distance: 1 977 km (~2h28)
