Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Ibiza — Alicante

Legal right to compensation: Iberia Airlines flight between Ibiza and Alicante

The IBZ - ALC route operated by Iberia Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Ibiza and Alicante (180 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Iberia Airlines.

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.

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 Ibiza - Alicante is eligible?

To determine if your trip between Ibiza and Alicante entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Ibiza, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Alicante.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Ibiza airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Iberia Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
