European legislation upholds passenger rights. For 1 368 km, the statutory payout applies if {the airline is at fault|Germanwings bears responsibility}. The short-haul bracket applies fully here.

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.

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.
