Flight compensation Germanwings:
Kavala — Cologne

How to get compensated from Germanwings on Kavala (KVA) - Cologne (CGN)

Your Germanwings flight from Kavala to Cologne was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Fortunately, for this route of 1 740 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Germanwings to pay you a fixed indemnity. This medium-haul distance places your flight in an intermediate bracket.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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 passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Kavala - Cologne is eligible?

The compensation for KVA→CGN is redress for the inconvenience caused, not just a refund of airport taxes. On this medium-haul distance, delays are frequent and often compensable.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Alexander the Great International Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 400€ indemnity.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

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