How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Aviles - Barcelona is eligible?
The indemnity for OVD-BCN is a payout for time lost, not merely a commercial gesture. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.
An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Asturias Airport without an immediate alternative entitles you to the same 250€ payout.
What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Barcelona.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Aviles airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Iberia Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Aviles, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
