Flight compensation US Airways:
Barcelona — Miami

Procedure: US Airways flight compensation from Barcelona to Miami

From Barcelona International Airport airport, your departure with US Airways to Miami didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 7 545 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires US Airways 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.
