Steps: how to get your 250 € from Alitalia?

The main benefit: they take on all the complexity and only collect fees if the 250€ are successfully recovered.

Prepare yourself if you hear nothing within the first fortnight. The typical delay for a carrier like Alitalia to process a complex claim usually ranges from 4 to 12 weeks.

The first refusal from Alitalia should not discourage you. Very often, claims teams cite "force majeure" automatically to test the traveller's determination.
