Flight compensation Alitalia:
Beirut — Milano

Claim and compensation for flight Alitalia Beirut - Milano

If your trip departing from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport and arriving at Malpensa International Airport operated by Alitalia was disrupted, you are not alone against the airline.

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 2 620 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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.

Did you know? Even if Alitalia is a non-EU airline, if the flight takes off from Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport, the European regulation applies in full.

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

To determine if your trip between Beirut and Milano entitles you to compensation, the main criterion is the delay at arrival (and not at departure). It must be more than 3 hours.

Also note that the distance of 2 620 km perfectly justifies the compensation bracket of 400 €. 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 Milano.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Beirut airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Alitalia (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

A work stoppage of Alitalia crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 400 €.

Even if 400 € is not payable due to an external strike at Beirut, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Alitalia.

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

If Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport airport becomes your temporary residence because of Alitalia, know that your essential needs must be covered by the carrier.

Your forced stay at Beirut shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BEY-MXP trip.

Steps: how to get your 400 € from Alitalia?

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

By entrusting your case regarding flight BEY-MXP to our experts, you benefit from the 'No Win, No Fee' principle.

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

Patience is often the watchword. Airlines receive thousands of requests weekly and processing your file for the flight from Beirut to Malpensa International Airport can drag on if you don't follow up.

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

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 400 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

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