Flight compensation Germanwings:
Duesseldorf — Olbia

Procedure: Germanwings flight compensation from Duesseldorf to Olbia

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Duesseldorf and Olbia with Germanwings? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 174 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Germanwings to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

• 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...).

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

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Germanwings is often more striking.
