Flight compensation Germanwings:
Milan — Berlin

Steps: claim for Germanwings flight from Milan to Berlin

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Germanwings didn't honour its scheduled times for your Milan - Berlin flight, the law is on your side.

The good news is, for this journey of 843 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 obliges Germanwings to provide financial compensation. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Germanwings from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

Be wary by Germanwings's evasive wording: a "wildcat" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

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

Once the delay reaches the regulatory threshold, i.e. 2 hours for flights ≤1500 km, Germanwings must automatically provide the regulatory care to all passenger{s} waiting at Milan.

Remember to request a delay certificate from Germanwings staff at Linate Airport. This document is crucial for your claim if you need to prove the delay.
