Claim and compensation for flight Germanwings Hannover - Venice

Your claim for compensation for the Germanwings flight from Hannover to Venice deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Hannover and Venice (797 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Germanwings.

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.

  • Departure airport: Hannover Airport (HAJ)
  • Arrival airport: Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport (VCE)
  • Flight distance: 797 km (~0h60)

This is not a commercial gesture from Germanwings, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Hannover Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
