Some Tips to claim Air Namibia
Ask for the reason for Air Namibia delay or cancellation
The reason of the delay is important: principally if you have thrown away the boarding pass.
Air Namibia delayed flights for 3 or more hours
Air Namibia delay must be higher than 3 hours to be entitled to a compensation.
Overbooked Air Namibia flight
Overbooked Air Namibia flight: When Air Namibia sells more tickets than the actual number of passengers they can accommodate.
The overbooking is legal, but you are entitled to a compensation up to € 600.
Air Namibia aims to avoid empty seats due to no-shows, but this must be legally sanctioned.
Once a Air Namibia passenger has received a reservation or any document stating the payment has been accepted and registered, it is a “confirmed reservation”. Boarding denials happen when a passenger presents to the gate but Air Namibia refuses them access to the plane.
How do I know how long was Air Namibia flight delayed?
- Contact a Lexority lawyer to tell you how long the Air Namibia flight delay was without a doubt. You have to be aware that the following sites are not always accurate and need a payment record.
- You can use the web Flight Stats where if you register you can see the Air Namibia status of all flights including those of years ago.
- Another way is to go to Flight Radar where you can see the last seven days Air Namibia flight delays without registering. If you register you can also see delayed flights from up to two years ago.
Must read: When the Air Namibia delay is very close to 3 hours, Flightradar24 is not 100% reliable, since it shows the time of landing, but not the exit from the plane, which is what the law says has to be taken in consideration.
