Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Bogota — Madrid

Process: compensation for Iberia Airlines flight from Bogota to Madrid

Your Iberia Airlines flight from Bogota to Madrid was delayed, cancelled or overbooked? Don't stay silent: EU regulation protects you.

Fortunately, for this route of 8 031 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Iberia Airlines to pay you a fixed indemnity. Long-haul flights qualify for the highest compensation tier.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

Too few passengers exercise their rights (only one in seven on average). Don't allow this compensation slip away: the procedure, although bureaucratic, is guaranteed for all travellers.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Bogota - Madrid is eligible?

Whether your Iberia Airlines flight Bogota→Madrid was cancelled or you were bumped, the 600€ compensation is potentially owed in each of these scenarios.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from El Dorado International Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 600€ indemnity.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Madrid.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bogota 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 by Iberia Airlines's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 600€.

Important nuance: if the cancellation is directly attributable to airport staff, Iberia Airlines is exempted from the obligation to pay the 600€ compensation, while maintaining its duty of assistance.

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

The duty of assistance is a essential provision of the EU text. Independently of the 600€ question, if the delay extends at El Dorado International Airport, Iberia Airlines must distribute meal vouchers.

If you advanced money for a taxi at El Dorado International Airport due to Iberia Airlines's disruption, compile all invoices. You can request reimbursement of these costs independently of the 600€ compensation.
