Flight compensation Germanwings:
Duesseldorf — Bari

Refund and compensation Germanwings: route Duesseldorf to Bari

If your trip departing from Dusseldorf International Airport and arriving at Bari / Palese International Airport operated by Germanwings was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Dusseldorf International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 363 km determines your legal compensation level.

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 Dusseldorf International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Bari. If Germanwings made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Bari / Palese International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Germanwings staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Dusseldorf International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Duesseldorf remains valid. The hotel is due if Germanwings offsets your flight by one night.
