Guidance to claim PrivatAir
Don´t throw your ticket expenses to claim PrivatAir
Even though PrivatAir has to refund the expenses, sometimes the airline doesn´t do it. PrivatAir is allowed to ask for your receipts as proof before refunding you for the extra costs of your trip.
PrivatAir flight delays: 3 or more hours
To be entitled to a compensation, PrivatAir delayed flight must be higher than 3 hours.
PrivatAir overbooking: is it legal?
PrivatAir Overbooking: When PrivatAir sells more tickets than the possible number of passengers they can take.
The overbooking is legal, but you can be granted up to € 600.
PrivatAir aims to avoid empty seats because of no-shows, and this must be legally sanctioned.
When the PrivatAir passenger has received a flight ticket 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 PrivatAir refuses them access to the plane.
How do I know how long the PrivatAir flight delay has been?
- Contact a Lexority lawyer to tell you how long was the delay of the PrivatAir flight without any doubt. You have to be aware that the following webpages are not always accurate and need a payment record.
- You can use the web Flight Stats where if you register you can see the PrivatAir status of all flights including those of years ago.
- Another option is to go to Flight Radar where you can see the last seven days PrivatAir flight delays without registering. If you register you can also see delayed flights from up to two years ago.
Advice: When the PrivatAir delay is very close to three 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 dictates has to be taken in consideration.
