Flight compensation Croatia Airlines:
Dubrovnik — Paris

Claim and compensation for flight Croatia Airlines Dubrovnik - Paris

If your trip departing from Dubrovnik Airport and arriving at Charles de Gaulle International Airport operated by Croatia Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 410 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Croatia Airlines.

How to know if the flight Croatia Airlines Dubrovnik - Paris is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Paris. If Croatia Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 410 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Croatia Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Paris.
• 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...).
