I had purchased a non-stop flight ticket from Eurowings; however, my flight was canceled at the last minute. Instead, they offered me a much more inconvenient option for the next day on another airline, involving both bus and train transfers — at no additional charge, but far worse in terms of comfort and time.
Because of this sudden change, I had to stay overnight near the airport. My public transportation, hotel, and meal expenses totaled €265. Eurowings said they would cover €245 of that amount, but even though more than a month has passed, no payment has been made.
Furthermore, Eurowings refused to pay the €600 compensation I am entitled to under EU Regulation 261/2004. Due to the cancellation, I missed important business meetings, lost income, and suffered damage to my professional reputation.
Throughout the entire process, communication was poor, no clear timeline for reimbursement was provided, and no responsibility was taken for the difficulties I experienced. I expected far more from a European airline. This experience was a complete disappointment for me, and I no longer consider flying with Eurowings.
