Recover up to 600€ for Alitalia flight Rome → Buenos Aires

Your payout case for the Alitalia flight from Rome to Buenos Aires has strong chances. Travel chaos is stressful for any traveller.

The legal coverage under CE 261/2004 applies by law when Alitalia breaches its duties on the 11 155 km route from Rome to Buenos Aires.

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.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Rome - Buenos Aires is eligible?

Note your actual arrival time at Buenos Aires. If Alitalia made you wait more than three hours at Ministro Pistarini International Airport, your entitlement is confirmed.

Note that the distance of 11 155 km fully justifies the 600€ compensation tier. This amount is net and {the airline|Alitalia} cannot override it through its own general conditions of sale.
