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.

  • Arrival airport: Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW)
  • Flight distance: 1 150 km (~1h26)
