Why are you entitled to 250 €?

  • Flight distance: 329 km (~0h25)

The compensation for TRS→LIN is redress for the inconvenience caused, not just a refund of airport taxes. For this short-haul flight, the 3-hour threshold remains the key criterion.

The impact of a strike on your Alitalia compensation

Don't be misled by Alitalia's vague terms: a "spontaneous" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

What are your rights at Ronchi De Legionari airport in case of prolonged wait?

An often-forgotten point: the right to care applies even {in extraordinary circumstances|when force majeure is invoked|when the 250€ indemnity is not owed}. Even if Alitalia is exempt from the payout, care is still owed.
