The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when Alitalia breaches its duties on the 636 km route from Paris to Milan.

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.

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 - Milan is eligible?

To check if your journey between Paris and Milan qualifies for compensation, the determining criterion is the delay at destination ({not the departure delay|measured at Linate Airport}). It must be over 3 hours.

Note that the distance of 636 km fully justifies the 250€ compensation tier. This amount is fixed and {the airline|Alitalia} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.
