Procedure: S7 Airlines flight compensation from Madrid to Moscow

From Madrid Barajas International Airport airport, your departure with S7 Airlines to Moscow didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 3 437 km of flight, the company S7 Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Madrid Barajas International Airport (MAD)
  • Arrival airport: Domodedovo International Airport (DME)
  • Flight distance: 3 437 km (~4h18)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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 S7 Airlines Madrid - Moscow is eligible?

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

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Madrid Barajas International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 400 €.

What are the conditions for S7 Airlines to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Moscow.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Madrid airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to S7 Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Madrid, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your S7 Airlines compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by S7 Airlines staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Madrid - Moscow flight.

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

Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. S7 Airlines must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Madrid.

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