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.

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from Turkish Airlines, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.
