Flight compensation Germanwings:
Memmingen — Berlin

Claim and compensation for flight Germanwings Memmingen - Berlin

If your trip departing from Memmingen Allgau Airport and arriving at Berlin-Tegel International Airport operated by Germanwings was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Memmingen Allgau Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 552 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

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

How to know if the flight Germanwings Memmingen - Berlin is eligible?

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

Also note that the distance of 552 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Berlin-Tegel International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

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 Memmingen - Berlin flight.

What are your rights at Memmingen airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking Germanwings for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Germanwings?

For your Memmingen - Berlin trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Germanwings staff at the Memmingen Allgau Airport counter during the incident.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Germanwings customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.
