Flight compensation Flybe:
Dubrovnik — Birmingham

Legal right to compensation: Flybe flight between Dubrovnik and Birmingham

If your trip departing from Dubrovnik Airport and arriving at Birmingham International Airport operated by Flybe was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Dubrovnik and Birmingham (1 853 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Flybe.

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 not a commercial gesture from Flybe, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Birmingham. If Flybe made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Birmingham International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 853 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Birmingham International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Dubrovnik Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Dubrovnik shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your DBV-BHX trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Flybe?

For your Dubrovnik - Birmingham trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Flybe staff at the Dubrovnik Airport counter during the incident.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 400 € without stress.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Flybe to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Dubrovnik - Birmingham section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The first refusal from Flybe should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with Flybe without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Dubrovnik.
