Flight compensation Hainan Airlines:
Munich — Berlin

Refund and compensation Hainan Airlines: route Munich to Berlin

If your trip departing from Munich International Airport and arriving at Berlin-Tegel International Airport operated by Hainan Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 480 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 Hainan Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Hainan Airlines Munich - Berlin is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Berlin. If Hainan Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Berlin-Tegel International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Hainan Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Berlin.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Munich airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Hainan Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Hainan Airlines compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Berlin-Tegel International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Munich International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

If Munich International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Hainan Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Munich International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Hainan Airlines?

Starting a procedure against Hainan Airlines for a flight from Munich to Berlin can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Hainan Airlines to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.

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

An unfounded refusal from Hainan Airlines is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Hainan Airlines without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Munich.
