  • Departure airport: Stuttgart Airport (STR)
  • Arrival airport: Zagreb Airport (ZAG)
  • Flight distance: 612 km (~0h46)

  • 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...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Stuttgart, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Germanwings compensation

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Stuttgart - Zagreb flight.

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

Recovering 250 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Germanwings systems.

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