Flight compensation Flybe:
Dubrovnik — Birmingham

Legal right: Flybe flight between Dubrovnik and Birmingham

If your journey from Dubrovnik Airport to Birmingham International Airport operated by Flybe was disrupted, legal remedies exist when dealing with the carrier.

Given the route between Dubrovnik and Birmingham (1 853 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Flybe. Medium-haul flights attract a substantial indemnity.

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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Flybe, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Flybe Dubrovnik - Birmingham is eligible?

Be sure to keep your boarding pass for the Flybe DBV→BHX flight. They constitute the key proof of your presence on board.

What many don't know: you have up to 5 years to submit your request against Flybe for the Dubrovnik-Birmingham flight. Don't think it's too late even after several months.

What are the conditions for Flybe to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Flybe compensation

The rule is simple: if Flybe's employees go on strike, it is a risk that {the airline|Flybe} must manage. Consequently, {your compensation|the 400€} is maintained.

Don't take at face value Flybe's explanation. Many airlines wrongly categorise their own staff disputes as force majeure to avoid {paying compensation|the 400€}.

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

Most travellers are unaware that Flybe is obliged to provide them meals, drinks and communications from the first hours at Dubrovnik Airport. It's a right, not a favour.

In case of a overnight flight delay, the regulation requires that lodging and transport to and from Dubrovnik Airport are entirely at the carrier's expense.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Flybe?

First concrete step: send a formal email to Flybe's customer service referencing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 400€ amount|your specific claim}.

By entrusting your DBV-BHX case to our experts, you benefit from the "no result, no charge" principle (you only pay if you win).

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

A frequent concern is about how long it takes. A claim sent yourself to Flybe's claims team can take several weeks, even months before you get a response.

Obtaining 400€ has never been easier thanks to integration between recovery services and Flybe's databases.

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

The first refusal from Flybe should not discourage you. Very often, claims teams cite "force majeure" automatically to test the traveller's determination.

For your 400€, don't settle with Flybe without the advice of a professional who knows the full scope of your claim for Dubrovnik→Birmingham.
