Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Granada — Palma de Mallorca

Procedure: Iberia Airlines flight compensation from Granada to Palma de Mallorca

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Iberia Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Granada - Palma de Mallorca flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 626 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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Granada - Palma de Mallorca is eligible?

For an Iberia Airlines flight from Granada to Palma de Mallorca, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Federico Garcia Lorca Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Palma de Mallorca.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Granada 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Granada - Palma de Mallorca trip is due to an internal strike within Iberia Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Granada, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Iberia Airlines.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Iberia Airlines must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Granada.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Federico Garcia Lorca Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
