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.

- Departure airport: La Coruna (LCG)
- Arrival airport: London Heathrow Airport (LHR)
- Flight distance: 1 085 km (~1h21)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines La Coruna - London is eligible?
To check if your journey between La Coruna and London qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at London Heathrow Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.
Note that the distance of 1 085 km fully justifies the 250€ compensation tier. This amount is non-negotiable and {the airline|Iberia Airlines} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.
What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at London.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at La Coruna airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Iberia Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from La Coruna, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation
When a strike impacts your route to London Heathrow Airport, {the airline|Iberia Airlines} will likely attempt to dodge liability. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in most cases, valid grounds for refusal.
The difference is fine but crucial. By engaging specialist lawyers, they will check in aeronautical databases the real cause of the delay logged on the day of your La Coruna → London flight.
What are your rights at La Coruna airport in case of prolonged wait?
Don't buy your food without first asking coupons from Iberia Airlines. If you advance costs, save your invoices diligently.
Even in extraordinary circumstances, the right to assistance at La Coruna remains valid. The hotel is owed if Iberia Airlines pushes your flight by a day.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Iberia Airlines?
Airlines like Iberia Airlines have whole departments specialised in deterring unassisted passengers. Against this imbalance, being supported makes all the difference.
The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 250€ are successfully recovered.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Don't be surprised if you get no reply within two weeks. The average processing time for a carrier like Iberia Airlines to finalise a compensation case typically ranges from 1 to 3 months.
The digital process of expert partners eliminates paperwork: upload documents, digital signature, and email notifications until payment.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
A refusal is never final. It's often a filter in the claims process that professionals overcome routinely. Refuse to let this barrier deprive you of your 250€ rightfully owed.
A claims specialist will know exactly how to counter Iberia Airlines's arguments, having access to METAR data and Eurocontrol data from La Coruna to establish liability.
