Get your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines flight compensation for the route Amsterdam - Tel-aviv

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Amsterdam and Tel-aviv with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 3 312 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS)
  • Arrival airport: Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV)
  • Flight distance: 3 312 km (~4h08)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Amsterdam - Tel-aviv is eligible?

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Ben Gurion International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines owes you 400 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your KLM Royal Dutch Airlines compensation

Don't be fooled by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Amsterdam, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol airport, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

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 Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.

The amicable route with KLM Royal Dutch Airlines to recover 400 € often fails without a technical and legal file.
