Get your Alitalia flight compensation for the route Marseille - Milano
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Marseille and Milano with Alitalia? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 370 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Marseille Provence Airport (MRS)
- Arrival airport: Malpensa International Airport (MXP)
- Flight distance: 370 km (~0h28)
- Applicable compensation: 250 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
How to know if the flight Alitalia Marseille - Milano is eligible?
The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Malpensa International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Alitalia owes you 250 €.
The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Alitalia sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Marseille Provence Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.
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 Marseille airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Alitalia (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Marseille, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
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.
Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Marseille, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Alitalia.
What are your rights at Marseille airport in case of prolonged wait?
In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Marseille Provence Airport, Alitalia must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.
If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Marseille Provence Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 250 € from Alitalia?
The amicable route with Alitalia to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.
Partner LegalTech services have tools to check actual Alitalia flight logs and contradict false weather excuses.
How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?
Airlines like Alitalia sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.
A collective action on the Alitalia flight from Marseille 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 Marseille - Milano line.
If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
