Flight compensation Alitalia:
Rome — Paris

Get your Alitalia flight compensation for the route Rome - Paris

No one likes waiting for hours at the airport. If Alitalia did not respect its scheduled times for your Rome - Paris flight, the law is on your side.

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 1 101 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

The 3-hour limit is calculated at the moment the aircraft doors open at Charles de Gaulle International Airport airport. If this is the case, and the flight cancellation is not due to extraordinary circumstances, Alitalia owes you 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport without an immediate satisfactory solution gives rise to this same indemnity of 250 €.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

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

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

When a social movement disrupts your itinerary to Charles de Gaulle International 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.

The nuance is subtle, but essential. By calling on specialized lawyers, they will check the actual flight causative factors in the aeronautical databases reported by the captain on the day of your Rome - Paris flight.

What are your rights at Rome 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 Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, Alitalia must provide you with free meals and refreshments in reasonable quantity given the delay.

Do not hesitate to request this assistance at the company's counter. If it is refused and you have to advance food or hotel costs at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport, keep your receipts carefully to request direct reimbursement.
