Flight delay from Germany to Mallorca: This is how much compensation you get
A flight delay can not only be nerve-wracking, but also expensive - especially if it lasts more than three hours. Passengers travelling from Germany to Mallorca who experience such a delay are entitled to compensation in many cases. However, the amount of the payment depends on the departure airport. In this article, you can find out what amounts you are entitled to and why Captain Frank's service is particularly worthwhile.
Compensation claims for flight delays - who gets how much?
The compensation you are entitled to depends on the flight route. In the event of a delay of more than three hours on a flight from Germany to Mallorca, the following regulations apply:
Departures from Berlin, Hamburg and Leipzig: Entitlement to EUR 400 per passenger, as the flight distance is over 1,500 km.
Departures from Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Nuremberg or Munich: Entitlement to EUR 250 per passenger, as the flight distance is less than 1,500 km
In 2023, we successfully enforced 3 out of 4 compensation claims in court. But what does this mean for passengers in terms of costs and benefits?
The cost-benefit risk of enforcing your claims
Let's take compensation of EUR 250 as an example. To claim this sum, we have the following cost risk:
-
- Court costs: 114 EUR.
- own legal costs: 142,50 EUR netto.
- third-party legal costs: 142,50 EUR netto.
- This means a cost risk totalling EUR 399.00 - and that for a claim of only EUR 250. This risk discourages many passengers from taking legal action themselves or hiring a lawyer. This is where Captain Frank's service comes into play: our fee is only 30%. This means that you will receive EUR 175 of the EUR 250. Other providers are often significantly more expensive and demand additional surcharges if legal proceedings are initiated.

Captain Frank - The more favourable service for passengers
While we at Captain Frank offer a transparent and fair fee of 30% with no hidden costs, other providers charge up to 35% and an additional 15% surcharge if the matter goes to court. In such a case, the passenger is left with only 125 EUR. Thanks to our high level of automation and extensive experience, we are able to keep costs low and still have a very high success rate. This makes us one of the most cost-effective providers on the market.
The conclusion:
If you have a flight delay of more than three hours on a flight from Germany to Mallorca, you may be entitled to compensation - but the process of claiming it can be complicated and costly. With Captain Frank's service, you get fair compensation without unnecessary additional costs. You benefit from our experience and our favourable conditions without having to take any cost risk yourself.
