Flight compensation Alitalia:
Milano — Abu Dhabi

Refund and reimbursement for Alitalia: Milano to Abu Dhabi

A delay over 3 hours on Alitalia Milano - Abu Dhabi entitles you to up to 600€. Find out if you're eligible.

Departing from Malpensa International Airport, you are protected by EU law. The distance of 4 714 km determines the amount of your compensation. With over 3500 km, you qualify for the maximum 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.

Since the landmark CJEU judgment, significant arrival delays are treated like a cancellation for the right to compensation. This significantly strengthened the reach of CE 261.

Check your real landing time at Abu Dhabi. If Alitalia delayed you over 3h at Abu Dhabi International Airport, your entitlement is confirmed.
