Austrian Airlines Compensation Claim No Response
If Austrian Airlines has not answered your EU261 compensation claim, build the follow-up around Vienna timing, the operating carrier, and a clear proof request.
Quick answer
Send one Austrian Airlines reminder that lists the case reference, route, final-arrival delay, EU261 amount, Vienna connection proof, and requested decision. If Austrian stays silent, keep the file ready for the relevant Austria passenger-rights complaint route.
Confirm amount, timing, and weak-refusal risk before the reminder becomes escalation evidence.
Build An Austrian No-Response File
Vienna connection proof
Keep the one-booking itinerary, rebooking message, missed-connection proof, and final-destination arrival time together.
Lufthansa Group operating-carrier detail
Record whether Austrian operated the flight or whether another Lufthansa Group carrier was involved, especially on mixed itineraries.
Exact cause request
Ask Austrian to identify the event, timing, affected aircraft or crew, causal link, and recovery measures before accepting silence or vague wording.

Save the original claim, confirmation, reminders, evidence, and airline silence chronology in one concise file.
What The Austrian Reminder Should Include
- Case reference, claim submission date, booking reference, passengers, flight number, and route.
- Final-arrival delay or cancellation notice calculation, not only the Vienna departure delay.
- Requested EUR250, EUR400, EUR300 reduced long-haul, or EUR600 amount per passenger where the facts support it.
- Attachments list: boarding passes, rebooking proof, Austrian messages, airport screenshots, and receipts.
- A request for payment or a substantive final response explaining the disruption reason and reasonable measures.
Pick The Correct Timing Route
| Austrian acknowledged the claim | Reply in the same thread so the case history is preserved and dated. |
| Austrian discussed expenses only | Separate care reimbursement from fixed EU261 compensation and restate the statutory amount. |
| Austrian stayed silent after the reminder | Prepare the concise file for the relevant passenger-rights escalation path rather than sending vague chasers. |
