Flight compensation Alitalia:
Prague — Venice

Steps: compensation for Alitalia flight from Prague to Venice

Nobody likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Alitalia failed to meet its timetable for your Prague → Venice flight, EU law backs you up.

Fortunately, for this route of 530 km, Regulation CE 261/2004 requires Alitalia to pay you a fixed indemnity. On a short-haul flight like this, a specific compensation tier applies.

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.

Note: only extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather, airspace closures, security threats) relieve Alitalia from payment. Otherwise, the payout is owed.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Prague - Venice is eligible?

The 3-hour threshold is calculated when the aircraft doors open at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport. If this applies and the cancellation wasn't caused by force majeure, Alitalia must pay you 250€.

Connecting passengers are also protected. If your first Alitalia segment Prague-Venice causes a knock-on delay, the indemnity is calculated on the overall arrival delay.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

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