Recover up to 250€ for Flybaboo flight Amsterdam → Leipzig

The stress of a cancellation at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol towards Leipzig with Flybaboo gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

Leaving Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 522 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
  • Arrival airport: Leipzig Halle Airport (LEJ)
  • Flight distance: 522 km (~0h39)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

How to know if the flight Flybaboo Amsterdam - Leipzig is eligible?

Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Air traffic logs will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Leipzig Halle Airport.

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Amsterdam, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Flybaboo compensation
