Flight compensation Germanwings:
Cagliari — Stuttgart

Refund and compensation Germanwings: route Cagliari to Stuttgart

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

Given the route between Cagliari and Stuttgart (1 050 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Germanwings.

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 Cagliari / Elmas Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Cagliari - 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.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Cagliari, the regulation applies in the same way.

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 Cagliari 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 250 €.

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 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Cagliari / Elmas Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Germanwings, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Cagliari / Elmas Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
