Flight compensation Germanwings:
Palma de Mallorca — Duesseldorf

How to be compensated by Germanwings on the Palma de Mallorca (PMI) - Duesseldorf (DUS) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Germanwings did not respect its scheduled times for your Palma de Mallorca - Duesseldorf flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 342 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Palma de Mallorca - Duesseldorf is eligible?

The compensation for flight PMI-DUS is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Palma De Mallorca 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 Duesseldorf.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Palma de Mallorca airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Germanwings (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

A work stoppage of Germanwings crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Palma de Mallorca, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Germanwings.

What are your rights at Palma de Mallorca airport in case of prolonged wait?

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Germanwings must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Palma de Mallorca.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Palma De Mallorca Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Germanwings.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Germanwings.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Palma de Mallorca to Dusseldorf International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Germanwings convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
