Florence — Lyon

Full breakdown: Airlinair claim Florence → Lyon

Given the distance between Florence and Lyon (528 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by Airlinair. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Airlinair proposes a voucher for your Florence - Lyon flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 250€ guaranteed by the regulation.

An class change doesn't change your right to 250€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The amount stays fixed at this short-haul tier.

What are your rights at Florence airport in case of prolonged wait?
