Madrid — Havana

Procedure: Cubana de Aviación flight compensation from Madrid to Havana

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Madrid and Havana with Cubana de Aviación? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 7 462 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Cubana de Aviación to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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 Cubana de Aviación Madrid - Havana is eligible?

The compensation for flight MAD-HAV is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Cubana de Aviación MAD-HAV flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Madrid.

What are the conditions for Cubana de Aviación to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Cubana de Aviación compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Madrid - Havana trip is due to an internal strike within Cubana de Aviación, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 600 € is not payable due to an external strike at Madrid, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Cubana de Aviación.

What are your rights at Madrid airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Madrid Barajas International Airport, Cubana de Aviación must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Madrid Barajas International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Don't take Cubana de Aviación's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.
