Legal right to compensation: Czech Airlines flight between Chelyabinsk and Prague

The CEK - PRG route operated by Czech Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Chelyabinsk and Prague (3 171 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Czech Airlines.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

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