Flight compensation Monarch Airlines:
Malaga — London

Legal right to compensation: Monarch Airlines flight between Malaga and London

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

Given the route between Malaga and London (1 645 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Monarch Airlines.

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.

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

How to know if the flight Monarch Airlines Malaga - London is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at London. If Monarch Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at London Gatwick Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 645 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Monarch Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Monarch Airlines compensation

A work stoppage of Monarch Airlines crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

A strike by weather services at Malaga or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Monarch Airlines has no control.

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

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

Your forced stay at Malaga shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your AGP-LGW trip.
