Niki flight Vienna → Tel-aviv: guide on a refund

Regularly, many passengers suffer delays on Vienna - Tel-aviv with Niki. Most don't know they can claim financial compensation.

Thanks to Directive CE 261, passengers suffering from disruptions on a 2 361 km route can demand a statutory compensation from {the carrier|Niki}.

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.

Note that this regulation applies regardless of any cabin class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

The impact of a strike on your Niki compensation

Be wary by Niki's evasive wording: a "spontaneous" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.
