Process: compensation for Iberia Airlines flight from Gothenborg to Barcelona

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

Fortunately, for this route of 1 958 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Iberia Airlines to pay you a fixed indemnity. This medium-haul distance places your flight in an intermediate bracket.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport (GOT)
  • Arrival airport: Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
  • Flight distance: 1 958 km (~2h27)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Bear in mind: only genuine force majeure (exceptional conditions, ATC restrictions, political instability) exempt Iberia Airlines from this obligation. In all other cases, compensation must be paid.

The compensation for GOT→BCN is redress for the inconvenience caused, not just a refund of airport taxes. On this medium-haul distance, delays are frequent and often compensable.

If you had a connection are equally covered. If your first Iberia Airlines segment Gothenborg→Barcelona leads to a missed connection, the total delay at your final destination counts.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Gothenborg, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
