Practical notes on Eurowings
- Eurowings does not offer a direct complaint email. Use exclusively the online contact form on eurowings.com — phone complaints are not treated as formal EU261 claims.
- Eurowings frequently rejects claims citing 'technical problems'. According to the CJEU (C-257/14), technical defects are generally not an extraordinary circumstance — point this out in your complaint.
- Processing time is often 6-8 weeks. Set a 6-week deadline in your letter and announce that you will escalate to the Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr if no response is received.
- If rejected or no response: The Schlichtungsstelle Reise & Verkehr (formerly SOEP, schlichtung-reise-und-verkehr.de) is the competent arbitration body. The procedure is free of charge and Eurowings participates as a Lufthansa subsidiary.
