Was your Aegean Airlines flight delayed or cancelled?
You might be eligible for up to €600 in compensation.
When can you claim Aegean Airlines compensation?
While 82% of Aegean's flights are on-time, flight delays and cancellations are unavoidable. In case, your flight was one part of the 18% Aegean flights which experienced a disruption, you can claim compensation. Under EC261, air passengers can submit compensation claims when their Aegean Airlines flight was:
- Delayed by more than 3 hours at the time of arrival
- Cancelled within 14 days of departure without a suitable alternative flight
- The disruption wasn't caused by extraordinary circumstances such as bad weather or airport strikes
EU261 protects the rights of passengers in the EU, so it's important that your flight either departed an EU airport or was operated by an EU airline. Since Aegean Airlines is a Greek airline, all of Aegean's flights are protected under EU261.
Additionally, if your trip included more than one flight, you could be entitled to missed connection compensation.
Aegean Airlines Flight Delay Compensation
If your flight meets the following conditions, you could be eligible for Aegean Airlines flight delay compensation.
- You arrived at your final destination with a delay of more than 3 hours.
- The delay was caused by issues within the Aegean Airlines' control
It's imporant to remember that you're eligible for compensation from Aegean only if your time of arrival was 3 hours the originally scheduled time. For example, you were flying from Munich to Thessaloniki. Your original flight was scheduled to arrive in Greece at 15:11 but was delayed and you arrived at 18:30. In this case, you're eligible for compensation.
However, oftentimes flights make up for the lost time in the air. So, even though you waited at the airport in Munich for more than 3 hours, you arrived at Thessaloniki at 17:50. Unfortunately, in this case you won't be able to claim compensation from Aegean.
Luckily, all expences for food and drinks you occured during your wait at Munich's airport have to be covered by Aegean Airlines because of your right to care. So, if this happens to you, remember to always keep your receipts. You can claim through the airline's website or skip the struggle and submit your Aegean Airlines flight claim with SkyRefund.
