What Compensation Can You Receive at Berlin Brandenburg International Airport?
If you experienced a flight delay, cancelled flight, or were denied boarding, you may be covered under EU Regulation EC 261/2004. This law protects air passenger rights for flights departing from an EU airport, such as Berlin Brandenburg Airport, regardless of airline, or flights arriving in the EU operated by an EU-registered airline. It does not apply to US domestic flights or non-EU international flights operated by non-EU airlines
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
These rules apply to all flights leaving from Berlin Brandenburg Airport and certain flights arriving in the EU operated by EU airlines.
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): $270 (€250).
- Medium-distance flights (1,500 - 3,500 km): $430 (€400).
- Long-haul flights (over 3,500 km): $650 (€600).
If your flight delay or cancelled flight caused you to arrive 3 hours late or more at your final destination, you may be eligible for compensation under EU Regulation EC 261/2004. These amounts are set by EU law and apply even if the ticket itself was inexpensive

Berlin Brandenburg Airport Compensation Eligibility
When You Are Eligible
You are eligible for compensation under EU Regulation EC 261/2004 if the flight disruption was the airline’s responsibility, such as:
- 3+ hours flight delay.
Flight cancellation without 14 days’ notice.
- Denied boarding due to overbooking.
- Airline staff strikes.
If your situation matches one of these scenarios and your flight qualifies under EU Regulation EC 261/2004, you may pursue compensation. Keep in mind that compensation is separate from 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.
