Legal compensation: Niki flight Vienna - Nea Anghialos

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.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
