Legal right to compensation: Monarch Airlines flight between Nice and Birmingham
The NCE - BHX route operated by Monarch Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

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: Birmingham International Airport (BHX)
