Step 1: Determine Eligibility for Flight Compensation
To check if you qualify for compensation from Aegean Airlines due to a flight delay, cancellation or overbooking, here’s a simplified guide:
- Flight Departure: Ensure your flight departed from an EU, EEA, or UK airport. Even if your flight was with a non-EU/EEA airline but left from one of these airports, you may still qualify.
- Timing: Your flight must have experienced a delay of more than three hours upon your arrival at your destination. If your flight was canceled less than 14 days before its scheduled departure, you may also be eligible.
- Aegean Airline’s Responsibility: You can claim compensation if the delay or cancellation was within Aegean Airline’s control, such as technical issues, crew shortages, or scheduling problems.
- Valid Booking: Make sure you have a valid booking or reservation for the affected flight.
- Arrival Time: Compensation is based on your actual arrival time at your final destination, not the departure time.
Important: If you were denied boarding, get a Denied Boarding Form from the gate agent. This document is crucial because it proves you were denied boarding and shows how it affected your trip. Unlike other flight problems where you can find evidence from multiple sources, you cannot prove involuntary denied boarding without this form.
