Flight compensation Niki:
Vienna — Nice

Refund and compensation Niki: route Vienna to Nice

The VIE - NCE route operated by Niki experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

Given the route between Vienna and Nice (876 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Niki.

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.

Did you know? Even if Niki is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Vienna International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Niki offers you a voucher for your Vienna - Nice flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

In the case of a cancellation, if you are notified less than 14 days before your departure from Vienna, the regulation applies in the same way.

What are the conditions for Niki to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Nice.
• 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Nice, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Vienna International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

Your forced stay at Vienna shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your VIE-NCE trip.
