Flight compensation Germanwings:
Berlin — Ibiza

Legal right to compensation: Germanwings flight between Berlin and Ibiza

Your claim for compensation for the Germanwings flight from Berlin to Ibiza deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 776 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Germanwings is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Berlin-Tegel International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Berlin - Ibiza is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Germanwings offers you a voucher for your Berlin - Ibiza flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 400 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

A work stoppage of Germanwings crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Germanwings is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 400 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Berlin-Tegel International 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.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Berlin remains valid. The hotel is due if Germanwings offsets your flight by one night.

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