Alitalia passengers Buenos Aires-Rome: your guide to get compensated

You travelled with Alitalia from Buenos Aires to Rome and the flight was disrupted? EU law mandates compensation when the airline is at fault.

Given the route between Buenos Aires and Rome (11 155 km), the EU scale provides for automatic protection in case of a breach by Alitalia. This intercontinental route qualifies for the highest tier.

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.

Good to know? Even if Alitalia is a airline based outside the EU, if the flight takes off from Ministro Pistarini International Airport, CE 261 applies in full.

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

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Alitalia proposes a voucher for your Buenos Aires - Rome flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 600€ guaranteed by the regulation.

An class change doesn't change your right to 600€ if the initial disruption is established under Regulation 261. The maximum tier applies regardless of cabin class.

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 Buenos Aires airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Alitalia (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

The rule is simple: if Alitalia's employees go on strike, it is a risk that {the airline|Alitalia} must manage. Consequently, {your compensation|the 600€} is maintained.

Don't take at face value Alitalia's explanation. Many airlines wrongly categorise their own staff disputes as force majeure to avoid {paying compensation|the 600€}.
