The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation
The principle is clear: if Germanwings's staff stop work, it is a risk that {the airline|Germanwings} should have anticipated. Therefore, {your compensation|the 250€} remains owed.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Germanwings?
To get started: submit a written complaint to Germanwings's claims department explicitly citing Regulation CE 261/2004 and {the 250€ amount|your specific claim}.
By delegating your DUS→BRI case to specialist partners, you enjoy the "No Win, No Fee" principle (no cost if unsuccessful).
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you get no reply within two weeks. The average processing time for a carrier like Germanwings to finalise a compensation case typically ranges from 1 to 3 months.
Modern platforms reduce the average timeline to a few weeks for over 90% of cases {like yours|such as Germanwings Duesseldorf→Bari}.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
Germanwings's use of complex legal jargon is often a tactic to push travellers to abandon their 250€. Refusals are particularly common on short-haul routes, where amounts seem "small" to airlines.
For your 250€, don't settle with Germanwings without the advice of a professional who knows the full scope of your claim for Duesseldorf→Bari.
