Eurowings compensation FAQ

Can I still claim if Eurowings said it was extraordinary circumstances?

Yes. "Eurowings" often invokes extraordinary circumstances to avoid paying, but the burden of proof lies with the airline. Under CJEU case law (Wallentin-Hermann, Krüsemann), many of these claims are invalid — particularly technical faults and rotational delays. We automatically challenge extraordinary circumstances defences with a tailored counter-argument letter.

How long does a Eurowings EU261 claim take?

Most claims are resolved within 4–12 weeks. Eurowings has a 14-day statutory response window. If they don't respond, we escalate to the national enforcement body. If escalation doesn't work, we send a Letter Before Action.

What if Eurowings redirected me to a web form?

Form deflection is not a valid legal response. EU261 does not require you to use any specific technical platform. Our complaint letters explicitly address this and treat form deflection the same as a rejection, triggering immediate NEB escalation.

Do I need to have kept my boarding pass?

Not necessarily. Your flight number and booking reference is usually sufficient to verify the disruption via official aviation records. You can also upload supporting documents if you have them.
