Flight compensation United Airlines:
Berlin — Newark

How to be compensated by United Airlines on the Berlin (TXL) - Newark (EWR) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If United Airlines did not respect its scheduled times for your Berlin - Newark flight, the law is on your side.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 6 387 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires United Airlines to pay you financial compensation.

Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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 United Airlines Berlin - Newark is eligible?

The compensation for flight TXL-EWR is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the United Airlines TXL-EWR flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Berlin.

What are the conditions for United Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your United Airlines compensation

Not all strikes exempt the company from its obligations. If the delay of your Berlin - Newark trip is due to an internal strike within United Airlines, the European justice recently ruled that this entitles to compensation.

Warning however: if the cancellation is directly attributable to the airport staff or a decision by air navigation, United Airlines is released from its obligation to pay the legal indemnity of 600 euros, but not from its duty of assistance.
