Flight compensation Germanwings:
Villafranca — Hamburg

Claim and compensation for flight Germanwings Villafranca - Hamburg

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 918 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Germanwings, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.
