How to know if the flight Alitalia Rome - Delhi is eligible?
Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if Alitalia offers you a voucher for your Rome - Delhi flight, you can still claim the 600 euros cash provided by law.

-
Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
-
Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Rome airport.
-
Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to Alitalia (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).
Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Rome, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.
The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation
The question of strikes is a frequent point of friction during a claim. It is vital to distinguish between a strike by Alitalia staff (pilots, flight attendants) and an external strike.
In all cases, a precise analysis of flight logs will confirm if the weather or traffic conditions were truly exceptional.
What are your rights at Rome airport in case of prolonged wait?

In the case of a flight postponement until the next day, the regulation stipulates that hotel accommodation and transfers from and to Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport airport are entirely the responsibility of the air carrier.
