Flight compensation Alitalia:
Milan — Catania

How to be compensated by Alitalia on the Milan (LIN) - Catania (CTA) line

From Linate Airport airport, your departure with Alitalia to Catania didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 1 009 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.

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 Milan - Catania is eligible?

For an Alitalia flight from Milan to Catania, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

Keeping your travel documents for the Alitalia LIN-CTA flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Milan.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Catania.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Milan airport.
• Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Alitalia (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

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 Milan - Catania flight.

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

If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Linate Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
