Refund and compensation Germanwings: route Stuttgart to Istanbul

If your trip departing from Stuttgart Airport and arriving at Istanbul operated by Germanwings was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Stuttgart Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 1 799 km determines your legal compensation level.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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 Stuttgart Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Germanwings offers you a voucher for your Stuttgart - Istanbul flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 1 799 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. 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 Istanbul.
• 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...).

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Germanwings is often more striking.
