The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when Iberia Airlines breaches its duties on the 301 km route from Madrid to Pamplona.

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.

  • Arrival airport: Pamplona Airport (PNA)
  • Flight distance: 301 km (~0h23)

  • 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.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
