Get your Air One flight compensation for the route Venice - St. Petersburg

Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Venice and St. Petersburg with Air One? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 983 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Arrival airport: Pulkovo Airport (LED)
  • Flight distance: 1 983 km (~2h29)
  • Applicable compensation: 400 €

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.

How to know if the flight Air One Venice - St. Petersburg is eligible?

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Air One.
