Complete guide: Alitalia compensation Milan - Paris

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

With 636 km between Linate Airport and Paris-Orly Airport, EU regulation grants you a fixed indemnity of 250€ per passenger.

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.

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

How to know if the flight Alitalia Milan - Paris is eligible?

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if Alitalia proposes a voucher for your Milan - Paris flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 250€ guaranteed by the regulation.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Milan, the CE 261 applies equally.

• 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...).
