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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Brussels Airport (BRU)
  • Arrival airport: Dubrovnik Airport (DBV)
  • Flight distance: 1 397 km (~1h45)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

The rulings of the EU Court of Justice has reinforced these rights since 2004, making Regulation 261/2004 an effective shield against abuses by carriers like HQ- Business Express.

Your entitlement depends on verifiable facts. Air traffic logs will confirm the exact time of door opening at Dubrovnik Airport.

Remember that the distance of 1 397 km perfectly matches the 250€ compensation tier. This amount is non-negotiable and {the airline|HQ- Business Express} cannot deviate from it through its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for HQ- Business Express to compensate you?

  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
