Flight compensation Czech Airlines:
Prague — Hamburg

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

If your trip departing from Ruzyn? International Airport and arriving at Hamburg Airport operated by Czech Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Ruzyn? International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 490 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Czech Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Ruzyn? International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Czech Airlines Prague - Hamburg is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Hamburg. If Czech Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Hamburg Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Prague, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Czech Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Czech Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Prague - Hamburg trip is due to an internal strike within Czech Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Ruzyn? International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Czech Airlines has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Czech Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Prague remains valid. The hotel is due if Czech Airlines offsets your flight by one night.
