Flight compensation SATA International:
Frankfurt — Lisbon

Get your SATA International flight compensation for the route Frankfurt - Lisbon

From Frankfurt am Main International Airport airport, your departure with SATA International to Lisbon didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 874 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

How to know if the flight SATA International Frankfurt - Lisbon is eligible?

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

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If SATA International sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Frankfurt am Main International Airport, the 400 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for SATA International to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your SATA International compensation

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

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Frankfurt, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for SATA International.

What are your rights at Frankfurt 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 Frankfurt am Main International Airport, SATA International must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Frankfurt am Main International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by SATA International.
