Flight compensation Germanwings:
Stuttgart — Bari

Process: compensation for Germanwings flight from Stuttgart to Bari

Your Germanwings flight from Stuttgart to Bari was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Regulation 261/2004 is clear: for 1 027 km, Germanwings is bound by a compensation obligation 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 travellers claim what they're owed (less than 15% on average). Don't let this money go unclaimed: the process, despite its complexity, is an absolute right for every passenger.

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

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Bari / Palese International Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Germanwings must pay you 250€.

In summary: three situations trigger the 250€ payment on Germanwings Stuttgart-Bari: late arrival over 180 minutes, last-minute cancellation, or involuntary denied boarding. Determine your situation right now.
