Flight compensation Czech Airlines:
Prague — Zurich

Refund and compensation Czech Airlines: route Prague to Zurich

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

Given the route between Prague and Zurich (511 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Czech Airlines.

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 - Zurich is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Prague and Zurich entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

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 Zurich.
• 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

Don't be fooled by Czech Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Prague, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Czech Airlines.

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.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Ruzyn? International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
