How to claim your money from Niki on Thira (JTR) → Vienna (VIE)
No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Niki didn't honour its scheduled times for your Thira - Vienna flight, the law is on your side.
Regardless of the fare €50 or €500, the indemnity is fixed: 250€ per passenger. {The distance|The 1 492 km} is what counts, not the fare. On this short flight, the fixed compensation is guaranteed.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Santorini Airport (JTR)
- Arrival airport: Vienna International Airport (VIE)
- Flight distance: 1 492 km (~1h52)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €

How to know if the flight Niki Thira - Vienna is eligible?
