Strike in Germany

If the strike in Germany has caused a delay or cancellation of your flight, you may be wondering what you’re entitled to. While the disruption can be frustrating, it’s worth noting that not every circumstance warrants a payout or privilege. Our team is ready to guide you through your options and help you navigate the maze of rights and benefits.

Did the strike in Germany cause a delay or cancellation? You might be eligible for reimbursement

If your flight has been impacted by a strike carried out by the airline’s staff, and your flight has been delayed by more than two hours, then the airline may be held responsible for the disruption and you may be entitled to compensation.

What you need to know about the strike in Germany and your eligibility for flight compensation

In many cases, it doesn’t make sense to file a claim for flight disruptions caused by a strike. This is because when you purchase a ticket, you’re essentially agreeing to a contract with the airline to transport you to your destination. If they’re unable to do so due to external factors like a strike, then you won’t be able to claim any compensation.

Why you might not be eligible for compensation during a strike in Germany

You are not entitled to compensation if the strike was caused by personnel other than the airline’s own personnel. For example:

• air traffic control
• security personnel
• baggage handlers
• other ground personnel

Strike in Germany? This is what you are entitled to

If the airline has taken measures to prevent the impact of the strike, you won’t be entitled to compensation. However, that doesn’t mean you should be left stranded. If your flight is delayed for more than 2 hours, the airline has a duty of care.

This means that they must provide you with food and drinks. Additionally, if your wait time extends overnight, the airline should arrange accommodation for you. If they fail to do so, you can make the arrangements yourself and seek reimbursement by submitting your receipts.

Know your rights: compensation for delayed or canceled flights

If your flight is delayed upon arrival for more than 3 hours, and the airline is responsible, you may be eligible for compensation. The amount you receive will vary depending on the distance traveled. For flights shorter than 1500 km, you can receive €250 per ticket, and for flights over 3500 km, the amount increases to €600 per ticket.
