Flight compensation Germanwings:
Berlin — Heraklion

Get your Germanwings flight compensation for the route Berlin - Heraklion

From Berlin-Tegel International Airport airport, your departure with Germanwings to Heraklion didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 132 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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