Flight compensation Germanwings:
Dubrovnik — Duesseldorf

How to be compensated by Germanwings on the Dubrovnik (DBV) - Duesseldorf (DUS) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Germanwings did not respect its scheduled times for your Dubrovnik - Duesseldorf flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 303 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Dubrovnik - Duesseldorf is eligible?

For an Germanwings flight from Dubrovnik to Duesseldorf, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Dubrovnik Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Duesseldorf.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Dubrovnik airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Germanwings (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

Don't be fooled by Germanwings's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

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

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Dubrovnik Airport, Germanwings must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Dubrovnik Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Germanwings.
