Flight compensation Olympic Airlines:
Mytilini — Thessaloniki

Refund and compensation Olympic Airlines: route Mytilini to Thessaloniki

If your trip departing from Mytilene International Airport and arriving at Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport operated by Olympic Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Mytilini and Thessaloniki (350 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Olympic Airlines.

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 is not a commercial gesture from Olympic Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Olympic Airlines Mytilini - Thessaloniki is eligible?

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

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 250 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

What are the conditions for Olympic Airlines to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Thessaloniki.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Mytilini 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

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Mytilini - Thessaloniki trip is due to an internal strike within Olympic Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Mytilini, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Olympic Airlines.

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

During these long hours of waiting in the Mytilene International Airport terminal, know that the airline has a legal obligation to take care of you. This includes catering, but also the possibility of making two telephone calls or sending emails for free.

Your forced stay at Mytilini shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your MJT-SKG trip.

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

For your Mytilini - Thessaloniki trip, every minute counts. Note the reasons given by Olympic Airlines staff at the Mytilene International Airport counter during the incident.

This is where lawyers and specialized services come in. By going through an expert partner, you check your flight instantly and delegate the entire procedure to recover your 250 € without stress.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Mytilini to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Olympic Airlines flight from Mytilini can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Don't take Olympic Airlines's email for granted claiming that the airport was blocked by snow without checking official reports.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Olympic Airlines convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
