Flight compensation Alitalia:
Brussels — Milan

Refund and compensation Alitalia: route Brussels to Milan

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

European legislation strictly frames passenger rights. For a distance of 703 km as is the case here, legal compensation is due if the company is at fault.

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 Brussels - Milan is eligible?

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Alitalia offers you a voucher for your Brussels - Milan flight, you can still claim the 250 euros cash provided by law.

Also note that the distance of 703 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 Milan.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Brussels 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 250 €.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Brussels, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Alitalia.

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

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

Your forced stay at Brussels shouldn't cost you a penny more than originally planned for your BRU-LIN trip.
