Refund and compensation Germanwings: route Hamburg to Rijeka

If your trip departing from Hamburg Airport and arriving at Rijeka Airport operated by Germanwings was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 992 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Hamburg Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Germanwings offers you a voucher for your Hamburg - Rijeka flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Rijeka.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Hamburg 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.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Hamburg - Rijeka flight.

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Germanwings systems.

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