Flight compensation Iberia Airlines:
Valencia — Madrid

Claim and compensation for flight Iberia Airlines Valencia - Madrid

The VLC - MAD route operated by Iberia Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Valencia Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 284 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Iberia Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

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

Check your actual arrival time at Madrid. If Iberia Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Madrid Barajas International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Valencia, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Iberia Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Madrid.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Valencia 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 Valencia - Madrid trip is due to an internal strike within Iberia Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, Iberia Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 250 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.

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

If Valencia Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Iberia Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Valencia shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your VLC-MAD trip.

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

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Valencia - Madrid line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Iberia Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
