Refund and compensation United Airlines: route Hannover to Brussels

If your trip departing from Hannover Airport and arriving at Brussels Airport operated by United Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 398 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

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 not a commercial gesture from United Airlines, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight United Airlines Hannover - Brussels is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if United Airlines offers you a voucher for your Hannover - Brussels flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Brussels.
• 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 United Airlines (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
