How to be compensated by Croatia Airlines on the Dubrovnik (DBV) - Munich (MUC) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Croatia Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Dubrovnik - Munich flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 818 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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 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 Croatia Airlines Dubrovnik - Munich is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Munich International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Croatia Airlines owes you 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Croatia Airlines DBV-MUC flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Dubrovnik.

What are the conditions for Croatia Airlines to compensate you?

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dubrovnik airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Croatia Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Dubrovnik, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
