Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Bucharest — Barcelona

Refund and compensation Iberia Airlines: route Bucharest to Barcelona

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 1 980 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Iberia Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Bucharest - Barcelona is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Bucharest and Barcelona 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 1 980 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 Barcelona.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bucharest 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

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Iberia Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Henri Coand? International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Henri Coand? International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Even in extraordinary circumstances, this right to assistance at Bucharest remains valid. The hotel is due if Iberia Airlines offsets your flight by one night.

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 Henri Coand? International Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

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

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Iberia Airlines to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Bucharest - Barcelona section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

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

The use of complex legal jargon by Iberia Airlines is often a maneuver to encourage the traveler to abandon their 400 €.

For your 400 €, don't compromise with Iberia Airlines without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Bucharest.
