Claim up to 400€ for SunExpress flight Hannover - Antalya

Your compensation claim for the SunExpress flight from Hannover to Antalya is likely valid. Flight disruptions is frustrating for every passenger.

Departing from Hannover Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 2 387 km determines the amount of your compensation. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

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: Hannover Airport (HAJ)
  • Arrival airport: Antalya International Airport (AYT)
  • Flight distance: 2 387 km (~2h59)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

How to know if the flight SunExpress Hannover - Antalya is eligible?

Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Air traffic logs will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Antalya International Airport.

Note that the distance of 2 387 km fully justifies the 400€ compensation tier. This amount is non-negotiable and {the airline|SunExpress} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.

What are the conditions for SunExpress to compensate you?

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

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

The impact of a strike on your SunExpress compensation

Don't be misled by SunExpress's vague terms: a "wildcat" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

Even if the 400€ are not payable due to an external strike at Hannover, assistance (meals/hotel) stays mandatory SunExpress. Keep this in mind.

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

Avoid buying your meals without requesting vouchers from SunExpress. If you do pay, keep your receipts carefully.
