Flight compensation Germanwings:
Stuttgart — Malaga

Procedure: Germanwings flight compensation from Stuttgart to Malaga

From Stuttgart Airport airport, your departure with Germanwings to Malaga didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 739 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

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 - Malaga is eligible?

For an Germanwings flight from Stuttgart to Malaga, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Germanwings STR-AGP 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 Malaga.
• 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

Don't be fooled by Germanwings's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Stuttgart Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Germanwings has no control.

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 400 €, 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.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Stuttgart - Malaga line.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Germanwings will always prefer to compromise and pay the 400 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
