Flight compensation Alitalia:
Buenos Aires — Rome

Refund and compensation Alitalia: route Buenos Aires to Rome

Your claim for compensation for the Alitalia flight from Buenos Aires to Rome deserves to be examined. A flight delay or cancellation is a frustrating experience for any traveler.

Given the route between Buenos Aires and Rome (11 155 km), the European scale provides automatic financial protection in case of failure by Alitalia.

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.

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

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

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Alitalia offers you a voucher for your Buenos Aires - Rome flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

Upgrading or downgrading does not change your right to 600 € if the initial incident is qualified under Regulation 261.

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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) 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 Buenos Aires - Rome flight.

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

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Ministro Pistarini International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.

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.

DGAC or its European equivalents can be slow. A private court proceeding against Alitalia is often more striking.
