Flight compensation Alitalia:
Paris — Nuernberg

Get your Alitalia flight compensation for the route Paris - Nuernberg

From Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport, your departure with Alitalia to Nuernberg didn't go as planned? Passengers have strong rights against carriers.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 621 km of flight, the company Alitalia is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or if the flight is cancelled.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The compensation for flight CDG-NUE is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

The compensation also covers boarding denials (overbooking). If Alitalia sold more seats than planned and you stay on the tarmac at Charles de Gaulle International Airport, the 250 € compensation is automatic.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Nuernberg.
• 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

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Nuremberg Airport, the company will often try to clear itself. However, a strike by its own staff is no longer, in the majority of cases, considered an exonerating circumstance.

On the other hand, if it is the air traffic controllers, the baggage handlers at Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport, or the security staff who are on strike, it is indeed an extraordinary circumstance. In this precise scenario, the 250 € will not be due.

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

In addition to financial compensation, the European regulation guarantees what is called a 'right to care.' If your flight is delayed departing from Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Alitalia must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Charles de Gaulle International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Alitalia.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Alitalia?

The amicable route with Alitalia to recover 250 € often fails without a technical and legal file.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Alitalia website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

A frequent question concerns processing times. A claim filed directly with Alitalia customer service can take several weeks or even months before getting a response.

If your file is particularly solid regarding the incident occurred on the Paris - Nuernberg section, some refund organizations even buy your debt. You then receive your compensation in less than 48 hours!

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

The first refusal from Alitalia should not discourage you. Very often, passenger services invoke 'weather' by default to test the traveler's determination.

For your 250 €, don't compromise with Alitalia without the opinion of a professional who knows the real value of your prejudice at Paris.
