How to claim your money from Croatia Airlines on Dubrovnik (DBV) → Munich (MUC)

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Croatia Airlines didn't honour its scheduled times for your Dubrovnik - Munich flight, the law is on your side.

Regardless of the fare €50 or €500, the indemnity is fixed: 250€ per passenger. {The distance|The 818 km} is what counts, not the fare. On this short flight, the fixed compensation is guaranteed.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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: Dubrovnik Airport (DBV)
  • Arrival airport: Munich International Airport (MUC)
  • Flight distance: 818 km (~1h01)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Too few travellers claim what they're owed (less than 15% on average). Don't let this money go unclaimed: the process, despite its complexity, is an absolute right for every passenger.
