How to be compensated by Croatia Airlines on the Split (SPU) - Duesseldorf (DUS) line

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 119 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Croatia Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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.

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 Split - Duesseldorf is eligible?

For an Croatia Airlines flight from Split to Duesseldorf, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Croatia Airlines SPU-DUS flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Split.

What are the conditions for Croatia Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Duesseldorf.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Split airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Croatia Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Croatia Airlines compensation
