How to be compensated by Alitalia on the Bangkok (BKK) - Paris (CDG) line
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Bangkok and Paris with Alitalia? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 9 448 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Alitalia to pay you financial compensation.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)
- Arrival airport: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG)
- Flight distance: 9 448 km (~11h49)
- Applicable compensation: 600 €
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 Alitalia Bangkok - Paris is eligible?
The compensation for flight BKK-CDG is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Alitalia sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Suvarnabhumi Airport, the 600 € compensation is automatic.
What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Paris.
-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Bangkok airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Alitalia (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Bangkok, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation
When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Charles de Gaulle 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.
The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Bangkok - Paris flight.
What are your rights at Bangkok airport in case of prolonged wait?
Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Alitalia must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Bangkok.
Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Suvarnabhumi Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
Steps: how to get your 600 € from Alitalia?
Getting justice against carrier Alitalia requires perseverance. No response or standardized refusals are common tactics.
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 600 € 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.
The advantage of delegating your claim to a major LegalTech player is that they can speed up this process thanks to automated formal notice systems and the constant threat of legal proceedings.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
The first refusal from Alitalia should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.
A claim organization will know exactly how to counter the airline's arguments, having access to certified meteorological histories and traffic reports from Suvarnabhumi Airport airport to prove their faults.
