Flight compensation Olympic Airlines:
Alexandroupolis — Athens

Get your Olympic Airlines flight compensation for the route Alexandroupolis - Athens

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Olympic Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Alexandroupolis - Athens flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 368 km of flight, the company Olympic Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Olympic Airlines Alexandroupolis - Athens is eligible?

The compensation for flight AXD-ATH is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Dimokritos Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Olympic Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Olympic Airlines compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Olympic Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Dimokritos 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 Alexandroupolis airport in case of prolonged wait?

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Dimokritos Airport, Olympic Airlines must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Dimokritos Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Olympic Airlines?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Olympic Airlines flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Olympic Airlines customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Alexandroupolis - Athens section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The first refusal from Olympic Airlines should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Olympic Airlines without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Alexandroupolis.
