Your entitlement: Germania flight from Frankfurt to Antalya

You were due to travel with Germania from Frankfurt to Antalya and things went wrong? Regulation CE 261/2004 guarantees a payout in most cases.

Given the distance between Frankfurt and Antalya (2 298 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Germania. 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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Frankfurt am Main International Airport (FRA)
  • Arrival airport: Antalya International Airport (AYT)
  • Flight distance: 2 298 km (~2h52)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This is not a goodwill gesture from Germania, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
