Flight compensation Germanwings:
Stuttgart — Dresden

Procedure: Germanwings flight compensation from Stuttgart to Dresden

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

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 424 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Germanwings to pay you financial compensation.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

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

For an Germanwings flight from Stuttgart to Dresden, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Germanwings STR-DRS flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Stuttgart.

What are the conditions for Germanwings to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Dresden.
• 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

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 Stuttgart airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Stuttgart Airport airport, Germanwings is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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