Flight compensation Germania:
Marseille — Augsburg

Claim and compensation for flight Germania Marseille - Augsburg

The MRS - AGB route operated by Germania experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Marseille Provence Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 708 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Germania.

How to know if the flight Germania Marseille - Augsburg is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Marseille and Augsburg entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 708 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Germania to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Germania compensation

Don't be fooled by Germania's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Germania is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Marseille Provence 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 Marseille shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your MRS-AGB trip.
