Flight compensation Niki:
Vienna — Funchal

Get your Niki flight compensation for the route Vienna - Funchal

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Niki did not respect its scheduled times for your Vienna - Funchal flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 265 km of flight, the company Niki is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

For an Niki flight from Vienna to Funchal, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Niki VIE-FNC flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Vienna.

What are the conditions for Niki to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Niki compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Vienna - Funchal trip is due to an internal strike within Niki, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Vienna, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Niki.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Niki must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Vienna.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Vienna International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Niki.
