Refund and compensation Iberia Airlines: route Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca

If your trip departing from Barcelona International Airport and arriving at Palma De Mallorca Airport operated by Iberia Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

By taking off from Barcelona International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 202 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

Did you know? Even if Iberia Airlines is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Barcelona International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Barcelona - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 202 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

Don't be fooled by Iberia Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Barcelona, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Iberia Airlines.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Iberia Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.
