Compensation & claim for Intersky: Duesseldorf to Friedrichshafen

A cancellation on Intersky Duesseldorf → Friedrichshafen qualifies you for up to 250€. Check how to claim.

The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when Intersky breaches its duties on the 448 km route from Duesseldorf to Friedrichshafen.

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: Dusseldorf International Airport (DUS)
  • Arrival airport: Friedrichshafen Airport (FDH)
  • Flight distance: 448 km (~0h34)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

How to know if the flight Intersky Duesseldorf - Friedrichshafen is eligible?

To determine if your journey between Duesseldorf and Friedrichshafen qualifies for compensation, the main criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Friedrichshafen Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.

Note that the distance of 448 km fully justifies the 250€ compensation tier. This amount is non-negotiable and {the airline|Intersky} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.

What are the conditions for Intersky to compensate you?

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

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Duesseldorf, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your Intersky compensation

The rule is simple: if Intersky's employees go on strike, it is a risk that {the airline|Intersky} must manage. Consequently, {your compensation|the 250€} is maintained.

The crucial point is always: who is on strike? If {the answer is yes|it's Intersky's employees}, {you're entitled to 250€|compensation is owed}. Otherwise, assistance alone is still required.

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

If Dusseldorf International Airport turns into your involuntary base because of Intersky, the law stipulates that your essential requirements must be covered by the carrier. Assistance is due from 2 hours for flights of this distance.

The full package of assistance includes: refreshments, hot meals if the delay warrants it, two free communications, and accommodation plus transfers if the flight is postponed. Everything at the expense of Intersky.
