Flight compensation SunExpress:
Dortmund — Izmir

Process: claim for SunExpress flight from Dortmund to Izmir

Your SunExpress flight from Dortmund to Izmir was disrupted? Act now: CE 261 entitles you to compensation.

Regardless of the fare €50 or €500, the indemnity is fixed: 400€ per passenger. {The distance|The 2 116 km} is what counts, not the fare. This medium-haul journey qualifies for a substantial payout.
