Get your Iberia Airlines flight compensation for the route Porto - Barcelona

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Porto and Barcelona with Iberia Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 899 km of flight, the company Iberia Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

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.

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Barcelona International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Iberia Airlines owes you 250 €.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Iberia Airlines sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Porto, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.

The impact of a strike on your Iberia Airlines compensation
