Albastar Flight Compensation Claims

As a passenger, you may be entitled to compensation if the following have occurred:

  • Flight delay: If your flight arrived 3+ hours late at your final destination.
  • Albastar Cancel Flight: if Albastar cancelled your flight and informed you less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: If you have been denied boarding due to overbooking.
  • Missed connecting flight: If you missed a connecting flight due to a delay in one of the legs and you arrived at your destination 3+ hours late.

 

Albastar Flight Cancellations: When are they Liable?

When Albastar can escape liability: Albastar claims if a flight was cancelled due to events outside of its control; for example bad weather, or issues at the airport. Such events are typically called extraordinary circumstances and in such cases, you are not entitled to a Albastar missed flight refund.

All airlines will generally try to book you on the next available flight at no additional charge, in the case of cancelled flights. You may agree to the proposed flight or request another replacement flight, or demand reimbursement if you are not happy with any of the options proposed.

Note: If your rebooked scheduled departure arrives at a similar time to your original departure time, you're not entitled compensation. The law is fair and allows airlines not to pay compensation if you can reach your destination with minimum inconvenience. In most cases, passengers who have a cancelled flight will have valid claims for a Albastar flight compensation.

An airport employees’ strike is beyond anyone's control. Learn more about cancellation compensation.

When Albastar cannot escape liability: When Albastar cancel flights, EU 261 Regulation on air passenger rights are clear: You must be put on an alternative flight or provided with a full flight refund.

Also, if you were notified about the flight cancellation less than 14 days before your date of departure, you may be able to receive up to €600 per person in compensation. Additionally, you may receive Albastar flight delay compensation if you arrived 3+ hours later than the scheduled arrival time of your initial flight.

Albastar Flight Refund policy

A flight compensation and a refund are two different things. Regulations allow you to receive both: a cancellation refund and compensation.

In case of a cancellation, an airline will try to re-book you on the similar flight, but if that becomes impossible, a cancellation refund will be a full cash refund. Generally, your claim would succeed, providing there were no extraordinary circumstances beyond airline control.

If Albastar cancels your flight to extraordinary circumstances (such as Covid travel restrictions or a serious illness) and you were offered no replacement flight, you can obtain a ticket refund in full, since your flights booked were not available.

Types of ticket refunds: A full refund must be in cash or credit. Vouchers are allowed only if you specifically agree to it. We do not recommend accepting vouchers due to short expiry dates and potential restrictions on redemption.

Note: If Albastar offers a replacement flight with approximately the same arrival time and you decide not to take it, there is a possibility of you losing the right to get both compensation and a ticket refund. 

Rule of thumb: you can generally reject alternative flights and receive a refund in full, if a new replacement flight arrives 3+ hours later from your initial scheduled arrival time.

Albastar Flight Delay Compensation

While all airlines attempt to operate on time, sometimes delays happen. EU regulation 261 (EU 261) protects passengers in cases of flight delays.

According to EC 261, if your flight arrives later than 3 hours at your final destination, you may be eligible to file a Albastar delayed flight compensation claim form to receive up to €600 as a flight refund.

Exclusions: Albastar delayed flight compensation will not be enforceable in case of extraordinary circumstances. If the flight departure time is delayed because of bad weather or any airport related disruption, that is considered an extraordinary circumstance. Technical problems, airline staff strike, or operational problems are not valid reasons for rejected compensation claims.

Tip: accepting vouchers or signing release paperwork will result in losing the right to compensation.

Common questions: Compensation Claims and Refunds

What to do when your Albastar flight is cancelled?

Confirm the reason for a flight cancellation with the airline ticket desk. Also, collect receipts for any additional expenses for reimbursement later. Ask the airline to provide food and refreshments for a delay of 3 hours or more. If your replacement flight is departing the next day, the airline must provide hotel accommodation and transportation. Finally, use our free online compensation calculator to check if you are eligible for compensation and submit a Albastar refund for cancellation.

What if I cancel my Albastar flight? Can I get a refund?

If Albastar cancels the flight, they must refund the price of ticket to passengers. But if you decide to voluntarily cancel your scheduled flight, you are not entitled to a refund. Albastar cancellation policy is restrictive, unless you have a flexible fare, which allows you to reschedule your flight to a later date with minimal cost.

Note: regardless of ticket type, passengers have the right to request a refund amount for airport taxes and fees as part of a cancellation refund.

Do I also get my money back for the Albastar cancelled a flight due to Covid-19?

If Albastar cancelled a flight due to Covid-19, passengers are entitled to a reimbursement as part of flight cancellation rights. If Albastar attempts to reimburse your cancelled flight with a voucher, we do not recommend taking it. Instead, apply for a refund. If your refund claim is rejected, AirAdvisor can help enforce your claim through our external lawyers.

Can I Get a Albastar Refund?

If you cancel your flight without selecting a refundable, flexible fare option, than your rights to refund are limited only to airport taxes and fees. In case Albastar cancels your flight, you can demand airline to honor your rightful request for a full refund of the ticket price.

How many hours for flight delay to be eligible for Albastar compensation?

As per EU Regulation EC261, a delay of three hours or more is the minimum requirement for a flight to be eligible for compensation.

But don't worry, checking your Albastar flight's eligibility for compensation is easy and fast. Head to the AirAdvisor website and complete the process in just a few minutes.

EU Reg. 261-EC mandates that compensation should be paid within 30 days. You should expect Albastar to take 2-3 months to process and reply. In some cases Albastar may try to postpone or ignore payment requests, assuming many passengers will stop pursuing their claims.

Absolutely no communication from the airline or TUI - we were left with babies without milk and medication, €4 vouchers which you couldn’t even use in some of the stores, incredibly rude and cold staff. Felt completely abandoned and alone. I was unable to collect my cats from the cattery on time, my family were left unaware and anxious about our safety and I threw up multiple times from the stress and upset which was caused. We arrived home at around 8:20 local time, we only knew we were getting on a flight as we were told to board the plane but other than this we had absolutely no communication.

I Should have arrived in Lourdes at 4.30pm but I arrived at Midnight. having been at the airport at the airport from.11.00am. I received one voucher for £5.00 which is all I received after a very very long day. I am 80 years old and it ruined my trip to Lourdes as it took me days to get over the delay.

When we went to the Checkin desk and it was not manned. After waiting in the queue for 45 minutes we were told that there would be an announcement to our flight in 30 minutes. After then waiting for an hour we were told that our flight had been CANCELLED. We made our way to the information desk called Acacia where the staff there didn't know what was going on and therefore couldn't give us any more information either. After 0ne hour an 30 minutes later we were told that we were going to board a bus and go to a hotel which was a 30 minute drive away. 15 minutes into that journey the driver received a call, then told us that we were going back to the airport as our flight was now back on. At the departure gate we were told yet again there was a delay of up to 3 hours. We eventually landed 5 hours later than the time originally scheduled. The lack of information from ALBASTAR was not only disappointing but very frustrating to say the least!
