Refund and compensation Iberia Airlines: route Bilbao to Tenerife

If your trip departing from Bilbao Airport and arriving at Tenerife Norte Airport operated by Iberia Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Bilbao and Tenerife (2 038 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Iberia Airlines.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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 Bilbao Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Bilbao - Tenerife is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Iberia Airlines offers you a voucher for your Bilbao - Tenerife flight, you can still claim the 400 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 2 038 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. 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 Tenerife.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bilbao 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

A work stoppage of Iberia Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

A strike by weather services at Bilbao Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Iberia Airlines has no control.

What are your rights at Bilbao 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.

Your forced stay at Bilbao shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BIO-TFN trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Iberia Airlines?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Iberia Airlines boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Bilbao Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

By entrusting your case regarding flight BIO-TFN to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Some passengers wait more than 6 months for a response from Iberia Airlines. An expert can reduce this time by half.

By entrusting the recovery of your 400 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Don't take Iberia Airlines's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
