Flight compensation Maastricht Airlines:

Compensation & claim for Maastricht Airlines: Stuttgart to Munster

A cancellation on Maastricht Airlines Stuttgart → Munster qualifies you for up to 250€. Check how to claim.

Leaving Stuttgart Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 398 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. The first tier (≤1500 km) applies.

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.

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

How to know if the flight Maastricht Airlines Stuttgart - Munster is eligible?

To determine if your flight between Stuttgart and Munster is eligible for a payout, the determining criterion is the arrival delay ({not the departure delay|measured at Muenster Osnabrueck Airport}). It must be greater than 3 hours.

Even if Maastricht Airlines reroutes you, the 250€ compensation still applies if the arrival at Munster exceeds 3 hours.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Munster.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Stuttgart airport.
