Procedure: Alitalia flight compensation from Rome to Tokyo
Have you experienced a major inconvenience during your trip between Rome and Tokyo with Alitalia? A flight delayed by several hours, a last-minute cancellation, or overbooking can ruin your plans.
Fortunately, for this specific route with a distance of 9 906 km, EC Regulation 261/2004 requires Alitalia to pay you financial compensation.
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.
Details of your right to compensation
- Departure airport: Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport (FCO)
- Arrival airport: Narita International Airport (NRT)
- Flight distance: 9 906 km (~12h23)
- Applicable compensation: 600 €
This flat-rate scale was designed to discourage airlines from changing their schedules without compelling reasons. Do not hesitate to assert this little-known but powerful regulation.
How to know if the flight Alitalia Rome - Tokyo is eligible?
The compensation for flight FCO-NRT is compensation for lost time and not a simple refund of airport taxes.
Keeping your travel documents for the Alitalia FCO-NRT flight is crucial to prove that you were present at boarding at Rome.
What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?
-
Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Tokyo.
-
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
A work stoppage of Alitalia crews is considered inherent in the normal activity of the carrier and no longer constitutes a valid excuse to refuse the 600 €.
Even if 600 € 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?
Assistance is due from 2 hours of delay for a flight of this distance. Alitalia must ensure the well-being of its passengers stuck at Rome.
If your new flight is not scheduled until the next day, the company must also take care of your hotel night near Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino) International Airport and the transfer by taxi or bus between the airport and the place of accommodation.
Steps: how to get your 600 € from Alitalia?
The amicable route with Alitalia to recover 600 € often fails without a technical and legal file.
Don't fill out complex forms on the Alitalia website. Go through a passenger defense portal to secure your 600 € indemnity.
How long does it take to get the 600 € compensation?
Airlines like Alitalia sometimes prioritize cases defended by law firms to avoid late interests.
Technology today allows real-time tracking of the progress of your request against Alitalia on your smartphone.
What to do faced with silence or refusal from the airline?
It is not uncommon for a claim for 600 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.
Experts in aviation law have a colossal history of Alitalia convictions, which is a decisive advantage.
