Your payout case for the SunExpress flight from Duesseldorf to Antalya is likely valid. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

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: Dusseldorf International Airport (DUS)
  • Arrival airport: Antalya International Airport (AYT)
  • Flight distance: 2 479 km (~3h06)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.
