Flight compensation Germanwings:
Bremen — Stuttgart

Claim and compensation for flight Germanwings Bremen - Stuttgart

The BRE - STR route operated by Germanwings experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Bremen Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 486 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.

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

How to know if the flight Germanwings Bremen - Stuttgart is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Stuttgart. If Germanwings made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Stuttgart Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € 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 Stuttgart.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bremen airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Germanwings (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Stuttgart Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Bremen - Stuttgart flight.

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

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Germanwings?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Germanwings boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Bremen Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

On the BRE-STR line, delays can vary according to the reactivity of Germanwings's legal department.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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

An unfounded refusal from Germanwings is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Germanwings without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Bremen.
