Flight compensation Germanwings:

Refund and compensation Germanwings: route Rijeka to Stuttgart

Your claim for compensation for the Germanwings flight from Rijeka to Stuttgart deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

By taking off from Rijeka Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 560 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.

Did you know? Even if Germanwings is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Rijeka Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Germanwings Rijeka - Stuttgart is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Rijeka and Stuttgart entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 560 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 Stuttgart.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rijeka 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 €.

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 Rijeka airport in case of prolonged wait?
