But do you know that you have the right to claim a compensation for your delayed or cancelled flight?

The EU Regulation 261/2004, or simply called EC 261, gives passengers the right to claim a compensation in case of denied boarding (including overbooking), delayed and/or cancelled flight.

Watch out! This regulation only applies to travellers departing from an EU/EEA member state or travelling to an EU/EEA member state on an airline based in the EU/EEA.

Before claiming your reward, be aware that there’s a time limit depending on the country. Click here to check the time limit for each country and understand if your flight applies for a compensation request.

There are a few important questions to answer before we get started:

1. Was your flight delayed by more than 3 hours?
2. Were you denied boarding due to overbooking?
3. Was your flight cancelled with less than 14 days notice?
4. Did you lost a connection flight because any of the above reasons?

If the answer to any of these question is “Yes”, then read below how to claim up your compensation up to €600!

It’s super simple, just enter your flight details on THIS page and see the result. Yes, it’s that simple!

If your flight was delayed for more than 5 hours, besides a compensation, you might also be entitled to a full or partial refund on your ticket. The airline company should also supply food and drinks while you wait at the airport (don’t forget to keep the receipts!).
If the flight is delayed for the following day, they should provide you an hotel room to spend the night, as well as transportation to and from the airport.

Upgrades & Downgrades

Be aware that in case the airline company offers you an alternative flight and:

1. Give you an upgrade seat, no additional payment should be required;
2. Give you a downgrade seat, a refund should be offered. In these cases, the amount can be between 30% and 75% of the original ticket price.

Just be informed the following:

There are some cases where the airline company can prove that your flight delay or cancellation was caused by extraordinary circumstances. These are situations that are beyond control of the airline. Here are examples where you probably won’t be entitled to claim for a compensation:

• A high-security risk, for example extreme weather conditions.
• A suspected security breach, bomb threat, an act of terrorism, political or civil unrest.
• Illnesses related to staff and/or passengers and virus outbreaks, like for example the Covid-19.
• Strikes by the flight crew and/or ground staff.

Did you know that only 55% of affected passengers claim their compensations? If your flight was affected don’t hesitate and enter your details below:

Córdoba is an ancient Andalusian city with an amazing Mediterranean climate. Since the closest beach is more than 150km away, we did loved to have a pool available in our Hotel. Look how adorable it is at night time!

Main Facilities of NH Collection Amistad Córdoba:

• Outdoor Swimming Pool
• Small Gym
• Bar and Restaurant
• Outdoor Patios
• Conference Room
• Room Service
• Tourist Desk
• Underground Parking (€24,50 a day)
• Pets Allowed on Request

The Room

NH Collection Amistad Córdoba has 5 different types of rooms. We got the Premium Double Room which was very spacious, decorated in neutral colours and had a big balcony with pool view, which was absolutely amazing. We woke up every morning with the birds singing at the sunrise – it was the perfect way to start the day!

The bed was big and very comfortable with soft and hard pillows. There’s so much to do and see in Córdoba that we did not had much hours of sleep, but the ones we had were very good. Even though our room was on the pool side, by the time we woke up there was no noise at all.

The bathroom had high quality materials and the shower was very clean and spacious enough for two!

Breakfast

While staying at Hotels, breakfast is definitely the favourite part of my morning routine. At NH Collection Amistad Córdoba the breakfast is served in the middle of an Andalusian patio that was recently renovated. It was the perfect setting to start the day.

I was really amazed by the beautiful way the food was presented. Everything looked so well cooked and designed – miles away from the standard hotel breakfast. Even the most simple things were done with a tasteful artistic twist.
It was a true culinary experience of rich Spanish flavours and fresh, colourful products. We specially loved the Tortilla and the different types of Jamón available. Every bite was a pleasure!

Facilities

NH Collection Amistad Córdoba has an adorable looking swimming pool that makes the perfect background for your pictures! It’s a bit small and can get busy during the afternoon, but it was never too crowded. The temperature of the water was cold in the morning, but got warmer throughout the day and it was absolutely perfect to enjoy after a long day walking around.

There was a small gym at the hotel, but unfortunately we did not had the time to use it. We woke up early every day to catch the morning light and came back only late at night. The hotel has a bar and restaurant (you can also order room service), but there are so many nice places around to grab a bite and enjoy typical Spanish tapas that we did not had the chance to try it as well.

One very important thing to mention is the parking. For those not familiar with Córboda, the entire historical center is a no-driving zone, so for us was very important to have the option to safely park the car and enjoy the city by foot. The parking is underground and it was built below the old city walls. For that reason, it was tight and difficult to access, but luckily we only had to move the car again at the check-out. The location of this Hotel is so perfect that all the city’s landmarks were only a short walk away.
The price of the parking was not cheap – 24,50€ per day – but it was very convenient, specially for a short stay like ours.

Overall Experience

We decided to stay at NH Collection Amistad Córdoba almost directly when we saw the pictures. The hotel, and its inside patio with swimming pool, doesn’t look only adorable on pictures but even more in person.

We loved the room, décor and design of the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful and we felt very welcomed at the check-in. The breakfast was delicious and everything was clean and very well-maintained.
NH Collection Amistad Córdoba is a very nice little hotel with probably the best location in Córdoba. The city is just adorable and you will be able to do pretty much everything by foot. When we visit Córdoba again, this will be our choice for sure!

At Mad Mick’s Breakaway you can enjoy your drink while playing pool and listen to great music on the background. They have an enormous choice of cocktails (more than 100!) and shots on the menu.
It’s definitely one of Rotterdam‘s classics – just a great place to have fun.
