Get your Germania flight compensation for the route Gran Canaria - Bremen

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Germania did not respect its scheduled times for your Gran Canaria - Bremen flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 426 km of flight, the company Germania is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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: Gran Canaria Airport (LPA)
  • Arrival airport: Bremen Airport (BRE)
  • Flight distance: 3 426 km (~4h17)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Germania Gran Canaria - Bremen is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Bremen Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Germania owes you 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Germania LPA-BRE flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Gran Canaria.

What are the conditions for Germania to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Germania compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Gran Canaria - Bremen trip is due to an internal strike within Germania, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Gran Canaria Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Germania has no control.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Germania must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Gran Canaria.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Gran Canaria Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Germania.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Germania?

Getting justice against carrier Germania requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Germania website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 400 € indemnity.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Gran Canaria to Bremen Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Germania on your smartphone.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Gran Canaria - Bremen line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Germania convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
