Get your Aegean Airlines flight compensation for the route Rome - Athens

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Rome and Athens with Aegean Airlines? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 086 km of flight, the company Aegean Airlines is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

Why are you entitled to 250 €?

The European Regulation EC 261/2004 is very strict regarding air passenger rights. The amount of fixed compensation does not depend on the price of your ticket, but only on the flight distance.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.
