Flight compensation Germanwings:
Stuttgart — Lisbon

Claim and compensation for flight Germanwings Stuttgart - Lisbon

The STR - LIS route operated by Germanwings experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Stuttgart and Lisbon (1 833 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Germanwings.

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 - Lisbon is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Stuttgart and Lisbon 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 1 833 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 Lisbon.
• 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

If your Germanwings flight from Stuttgart Airport was cancelled due to an internal union strike, you are eligible for legal repair.

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

What are your rights at Stuttgart airport in case of prolonged wait?

Don't buy your food without first asking Germanwings for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

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