Why are you entitled to 600 €?

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.

• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Amsterdam airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Alitalia (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Steps: how to get your 600 € from Alitalia?

Remember that Alitalia must process your claim within weeks. Prolonged silence itself constitutes a legal argument in your favour.

How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?

Technology now allow you to track in real time the progress of your claim against Alitalia through an online dashboard. Long-haul cases, with higher values, are often prioritised by firms.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a standardised negative response is unfortunately the experience of most passengers who act without support for the Amsterdam → Lima route.

As a last resort, it is court action that often unlocks payment. Alitalia will almost always choose to pay the 600€ rather than face lawyer fees for a case doomed to fail in court.
