Flight compensation Vietnam Airlines:
Madrid — Frankfurt

Legal right to compensation: Vietnam Airlines flight between Madrid and Frankfurt

If your trip departing from Madrid Barajas International Airport and arriving at Frankfurt am Main International Airport operated by Vietnam Airlines was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

Given the route between Madrid and Frankfurt (1 422 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Vietnam Airlines.

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.

The case law of the CJEU has strengthened these rights over the years, transforming Regulation 261/2004 into an effective shield against abuses by carriers like Vietnam Airlines.

How to know if the flight Vietnam Airlines Madrid - Frankfurt is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Frankfurt. If Vietnam Airlines made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Frankfurt am Main International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 1 422 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Vietnam Airlines to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Vietnam Airlines compensation

Don't be fooled by Vietnam Airlines's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Madrid Barajas International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Vietnam Airlines has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Vietnam Airlines for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Madrid shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your MAD-FRA trip.
