How to be compensated by Travel Service on the Madrid (MAD) - Prague (PRG) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Travel Service did not respect its scheduled times for your Madrid - Prague flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 1 750 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Travel Service to pay you financial compensation.

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 Travel Service Madrid - Prague is eligible?

For an Travel Service flight from Madrid to Prague, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 400 €.

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 Travel Service to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Prague.
• 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 Travel Service (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Travel Service compensation

The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Travel Service 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 - Prague flight.

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

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 400 €, if the delay stretches at Madrid Barajas International Airport airport, Travel Service is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Madrid Barajas International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Travel Service.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Travel Service?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Ruzyn? International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Travel Service flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Travel Service to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Travel Service systems.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The first refusal from Travel Service should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Madrid Barajas International Airport airport to prove their faults.
