Flight compensation Alitalia:
Rome — Thessaloniki

Get your Alitalia flight compensation for the route Rome - Thessaloniki

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

Thanks to the European CE 261 text, passengers who are victims of these issues on a trip of 909 km have the right to demand flat-rate compensation from the carrier.

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.

Remember that this law applies whether you are traveling in economy or business class, and regardless of the passenger's nationality.

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

The compensation for flight FCO-SKG is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.

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 Thessaloniki.
• 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

Don't be fooled by Alitalia's vague terms: a 'wildcat' or declared strike remains the management responsibility of the company.

Even if 250 € is not payable due to an external strike at Rome, assistance (meals/hotel) remains mandatory for Alitalia.

What are your rights at Rome airport in case of prolonged wait?

The right to assistance is a crucial provision of the European text. Even before speaking of your 250 €, if the delay stretches at Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport airport, Alitalia is required to distribute vouchers to eat and drink.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Alitalia.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from Alitalia?

The formal notice letter and the collection of evidence of delay at Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport airport (boarding pass, certificate) are mandatory steps to face the airline.

Don't fill out complex forms on the Alitalia website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 250 € indemnity.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

Airlines like Alitalia sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.

By entrusting the recovery of your 250 € to a trusted third party, you save yourself months of waiting and the anxiety of seeing your case closed without follow-up, as reminders are managed by aviation law professionals.

What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?

Hitting a wall or getting a 'standard' negative response is unfortunately the lot of many passengers who claim only for the prejudice suffered on the Rome - Thessaloniki line.

If you are certain of your right, you can refer to the Civil Aviation of the country of departure, or better yet, escalate the matter to the lower courts with the help of a specialized partner lawyer.
