EU-guaranteed payout: Germanwings flight Brindisi → Stuttgart

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Germanwings didn't honour its scheduled times for your Brindisi - Stuttgart flight, the law is on your side.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 1 127 km, Germanwings is held to a payout requirement if the flight is cancelled.

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.

  • Departure airport: Brindisi / Casale Airport (BDS)
  • Arrival airport: Stuttgart Airport (STR)
  • Flight distance: 1 127 km (~1h25)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Germanwings from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.
