Flight compensation Germanwings:
Dresden — Kerkyra/corfu

Legal right to compensation: Germanwings flight between Dresden and Kerkyra/corfu

If your trip departing from Dresden Airport and arriving at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport operated by Germanwings was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 368 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Dresden Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Dresden - Kerkyra/corfu is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Dresden and Kerkyra/corfu entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Dresden, 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 Kerkyra/corfu.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dresden airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Germanwings (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Dresden - Kerkyra/corfu trip is due to an internal strike within Germanwings, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Dresden, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Germanwings.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Germanwings for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Dresden shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your DRS-CFU trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Germanwings?

Starting a procedure against Germanwings for a flight from Dresden to Kerkyra/corfu can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Dresden to Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Don't take Germanwings's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Germanwings convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
