What Compensation Can You Receive at Berlin Brandenburg International Airport?

If you had a flight delay, cancelled flight, or were denied boarding, you may be covered under the EU261 law. This is the law that protects your air passenger rights when flying to or from the EU.

You may be entitled to compensation if:

  • Your flight delay was more than 3 hours

  • You had a flight cancellation

  • You were denied boarding because the plane was overbooked

This rule works for all flights leaving from Berlin Brandenburg Airport and flights arriving from another EU airport.

How Much Can You Claim Under the EU261?

The compensation amount depends on how far your flight was and how late you arrived at your final destination.

Here’s a brief overview:

- For short-haul flights (under 1,500 km): €250.
- Medium-distance flights (1,500 - 3,500 km): €400.
- Long-haul flights (over 3,500 km): €600.

So, if your flight delay or cancelled flight made you 3 hours late or more to your final destination, you might be eligible for compensation. These numbers are set by law and apply even if the ticket itself was cheap.

Berlin Brandenburg Airport Compensation Eligibility

No hassle

When You Are Eligible

You are eligible for compensation if the flight delay was the airline’s fault, such as:

- 3+ hours flight delay. Flight cancellation without 14 days’ notice.
- Denied boarding due to overbooking.
- Airline staff strikes.

If you check one of those boxes, you should try to get your compensation. Keep in mind that compensation is not a ticket refund, regardless of its price.

When You Are Not Eligible

Sometimes airlines aren’t responsible for the delay. These are called extraordinary circumstances:

- Bad weather.
- Safety-related mechanical issues.
- Flight delay caused by air traffic control.
- Flight cancellation due to security threats.

Even if you’re not entitled to compensation, the airline must still take care of you. You should get meals, drinks, a hotel (if overnight), and a new flight.

How to Claim Compensation from Berlin Brandenburg Airport

If you think you’re eligible for compensation, here’s what you should do:

  • 1. Contact the Airline

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How much compensation can I get from Berlin Brandenburg Airport?

    You can receive up to €600 depending on your flight distance and how long the delay or cancelled flight lasted. This compensation amount is guaranteed by law unless the issue falls under extraordinary circumstances. 

    If you’re not sure, you should still contact the airline or check with Skycop if you’re entitled to compensation.

  • Does the EU261 apply to international travellers?

    Yes, the rules apply to all air passengers flying from Berlin, even if you’re not from the EU. As long as your flight falls under EU261 (flight delay, cancelled flight, or denied boarding not due to extraordinary circumstances), you might be entitled to compensation.

  • What if my flight was delayed for more than 3 hours?

    You might get flight delay compensation of up to €600. It depends on how far you were flying and what caused the delay. If the flight delay or cancelled flight was the airline’s fault, you’re probably entitled to compensation.

  • How long do I have to claim compensation?

    In Germany, you have up to 3 years to file a claim. Make sure you gather documents like your boarding pass and your ticket. If you were denied boarding, had a cancelled flight, or any other disruption that qualifies, you should contact the airlines to see if you’re entitled to compensation as soon as possible.
