Flight compensation Germanwings:
Stuttgart — Bastia

Guide: claim for Germanwings flight from Stuttgart to Bastia

Your Germanwings flight from Stuttgart to Bastia was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

The good news is, for this journey of 683 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.

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

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

The 3-hour threshold is measured at the moment the aircraft doors are unlocked at Bastia-Poretta Airport. If the delay is confirmed and the disruption is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Germanwings owes you 250€.

If you had a connection are equally covered. If your first Germanwings segment Stuttgart→Bastia leads to a missed connection, the total delay at your final destination counts.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

The EU Court of Justice has clearly stated: internal industrial action do not constitute extraordinary circumstances for airlines. This ruling is binding across the entire EU.

Even if the 250€ are not owed due to an external strike at Stuttgart, care (food/accommodation) remains the responsibility of Germanwings. Keep this in mind.

What are your rights at Stuttgart 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 Stuttgart.

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