Flight compensation Croatia Airlines:
Zagreb — Pristina

Procedure: Croatia Airlines flight compensation from Zagreb to Pristina

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

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.
