Flight compensation Alitalia:
Baku — Milano

How to be compensated by Alitalia on the Baku (GYD) - Milano (MXP) line

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Alitalia did not respect its scheduled times for your Baku - Milano flight, the law is on your side.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 3 368 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.

This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Baku - Milano is eligible?

The compensation for flight GYD-MXP is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

Keeping your travel documents for the Alitalia GYD-MXP flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Baku.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Milano.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Baku airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Alitalia (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Malpensa International Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Heydar Aliyev International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 400 € will not be due.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Heydar Aliyev International Airport, Alitalia must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Heydar Aliyev International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Alitalia.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Alitalia?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Malpensa International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

To maximize your chances of success, use a collection service. These experts know the case law perfectly and will not be intimidated by the legal department of Alitalia.

How long does it take to get the 400 € compensation?

Don't be surprised if you don't hear back within fifteen days of your request. The average time observed for a company like Alitalia to validate a complex file often varies between four and twelve weeks.

Recovering 400 € has never been faster thanks to the interconnection between defense platforms and Alitalia systems.

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

An unfounded refusal from Alitalia is a practice that experts know perfectly how to bypass by citing the right articles of Regulation 261.

A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Heydar Aliyev International Airport airport to prove their faults.
