The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when Alitalia breaches its duties on the 7 371 km route from Paris to Miami.

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.

This cornerstone regulation of EU transport law protects over 900 million journeys annually. Despite this, the vast majority never claim due to ignorance.

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

To determine if your journey between Paris and Miami qualifies for compensation, the key criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Miami International Airport}). It must exceed 3 hours.

Note that the distance of 7 371 km fully justifies the 600€ compensation tier. This amount is fixed and {the airline|Alitalia} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

The rule is simple: if Alitalia's employees go on strike, it is a risk that {the airline|Alitalia} must manage. Consequently, {your compensation|the 600€} is maintained.

Don't take at face value Alitalia's explanation. Many airlines wrongly categorise their own staff disputes as force majeure to avoid {paying compensation|the 600€}.

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

On top of the {financial compensation|600€ indemnity}, EU regulation guarantees what is known as a "right to care". If your flight is delayed at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Alitalia must provide you at no cost with food and drinks proportionate to the delay.
