Flight compensation Olympic Airlines:
Manchester — Athens

Claim and compensation for flight Olympic Airlines Manchester - Athens

The MAN - ATH route operated by Olympic Airlines experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Manchester Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 2 637 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

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

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

Check your actual arrival time at Athens. If Olympic Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 2 637 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

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 Manchester 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, 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.

In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.

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

If Manchester Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Olympic Airlines, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Manchester shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your MAN-ATH trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Olympic Airlines?

It is strongly recommended to keep your Olympic Airlines boarding pass and any communication relating to the delay suffered at Manchester Airport airport. These documents will be vital for your case.

By entrusting your case regarding flight MAN-ATH to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

How long does it take to get the 400 € 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.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Olympic Airlines systems.

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 400 €, don't compromise with Olympic Airlines without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Manchester.
