Flight compensation Alitalia:
Bari — Rome

Refund and compensation Alitalia: route Bari to Rome

The BRI - FCO route operated by Alitalia experienced a disruption? Whether it was a technical or operational issue, you could claim a flat sum.

By taking off from Bari / Palese International Airport, you are protected by the EU's legal framework. The distance of 384 km determines your legal compensation level.

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.

This is not a commercial gesture from Alitalia, but a legal obligation that applies to all flights within the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Bari - Rome is eligible?

Check your actual arrival time at Rome. If Alitalia made you wait more than three hours on the tarmac at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, your claim is legitimate.

Also note that the distance of 384 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 250 €. This amount is net and the airline cannot derogate from it in its own terms and conditions.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

Don't be fooled by Alitalia's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

A strike by weather services at Bari / Palese International Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Alitalia has no control.

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

Don't buy your food without first asking Alitalia for coupons. If you do, keep your receipts carefully.

Your forced stay at Bari shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BRI-FCO trip.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Alitalia?

Starting a procedure against Alitalia for a flight from Bari to Rome can be complex if you decide to go it alone. Customer service often tends to invoke the weather to clear themselves.

If you don't have the time or the desire to engage in long email exchanges, delegating your claim to lawyers is the most effective solution to see your 250 € arrive in your bank account.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Bari to Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

A collective action on the Alitalia flight from Bari can also be a way to get your funds faster.

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

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Bari - Rome line.

Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Alitalia convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
