Flight compensation Germanwings:
Kerkyra/corfu — Dresden

How to be compensated by Germanwings on the Kerkyra/corfu (CFU) - Dresden (DRS) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Germanwings did not respect its scheduled times for your Kerkyra/corfu - Dresden flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 368 km of flight, the company Germanwings is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Kerkyra/corfu - Dresden is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Dresden Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Germanwings owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

Don't be fooled by Germanwings's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Germanwings is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

What are your rights at Kerkyra/corfu airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, Germanwings must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Ioannis Kapodistrias International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Kerkyra/corfu - Dresden line.
