How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Madrid - Accra is eligible?

Note your real landing time at Accra. If Iberia Airlines delayed you over 3h at Kotoka International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Even if Iberia Airlines reroutes you, the 600€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Accra exceeds 3 hours.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

Not every strike{s} release the airline from its duties. If your Madrid → Accra delay was caused by an internal strike at Iberia Airlines, EU courts have recently ruled that compensation is owed.

Key distinction: if the delay is caused by ground services, Iberia Airlines is released from paying the 600€ indemnity, but not its care obligation.

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

Too many passengers don't know that Iberia Airlines must offer them sustenance and contact means throughout the delay at Madrid Barajas International Airport. It's a legal obligation, not a bonus.

The regulation is very clear: assistance is not an optional courtesy from Iberia Airlines. It is a legal obligation that can be sanctioned.

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Iberia Airlines?

For your Madrid → Accra route, precision is crucial. Record the reasons given by Iberia Airlines staff at Madrid Barajas International Airport during the incident.

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 600€ are successfully recovered.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Persistence is usually essential. Airlines handle thousands of claims weekly and your Madrid to Kotoka International Airport case can drag on if you don't follow up.

Think about it: without lifting a finger, experts operate to recover your 600€ for the Iberia Airlines Madrid-Accra flight. That's the luxury of delegation.

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

Statistically over 60% of initial refusals from Iberia Airlines are unfounded against an expert taking over. Don't give up at the first obstacle.

If you are certain of your legal right, you can contact the Civil Aviation Authority of the departure country, or more effectively, take the case to a tribunal with a expert partner lawyer.
