Get your Iberia Airlines flight compensation for the route Bilbao - Madrid
From Bilbao Airport airport, your departure with Iberia Airlines to Madrid didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 319 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
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: Bilbao Airport (BIO)
- Arrival airport: Madrid Barajas International Airport (MAD)
- Flight distance: 319 km (~0h24)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
