It was about a return flight from Greece, which was significantly delayed. The aircraft could no longer land in Düsseldorf due to the night flight ban. The plaintiff and his family were flown to Cologne / Bonn instead and took a hotel room there. In addition to a compensation payment under EU law, they also asked the airline to reimburse hotel costs.
The airline paid the family € 1,600 in compensation for the delay, but initially did not take over the overnight stay. According to the court, she had to. The reason: The family would have had to wait three hours for a train that would have brought them to their destination in Minden after arriving at 10.20 p.m. In this case, that was not reasonable. It was also not possible to count the 1,600 euros in compensation against the damages.
