Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Malaga — Hamburg

How to be compensated by Iberia Airlines on the Malaga (AGP) - Hamburg (HAM) line

From Malaga airport, your departure with Iberia Airlines to Hamburg didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 2 192 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight Iberia Airlines Malaga - Hamburg is eligible?

The compensation for flight AGP-HAM is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Iberia Airlines AGP-HAM flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Malaga.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Malaga - Hamburg trip is due to an internal strike within Iberia Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

A strike by weather services at Malaga or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Iberia Airlines has no control.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Malaga, Iberia Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Malaga, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
