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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Madrid Barajas International Airport (MAD)
  • Arrival airport: Mohammed V International Airport (CMN)
  • Flight distance: 867 km (~1h05)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €
