Flight compensation Alitalia:
Venice — Moscow

File your refund for Alitalia Venice → Moscow

The stress of a cancellation at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport towards Moscow with Alitalia gives you a right to a payout. Here are the steps you can take.

Leaving Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport, you are covered by European legislation. The distance of 2 095 km sets the tier of your legal indemnity. Your flight sits in the middle bracket.

Why are you entitled to 400 €?

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.

Since the Sturgeon ruling of 2009, delays over 3 hours are treated the same as cancellations regarding payout entitlement. This greatly broadened the scope of the regulation.

How to know if the flight Alitalia Venice - Moscow is eligible?

Your eligibility rests on objective criteria. Official flight records will verify the precise moment of actual arrival at Sheremetyevo International Airport.

Watch out for traps: Alitalia might try to have you sign a waiver. Don't accept anything before checking with a legal professional.

What are the conditions for Alitalia to compensate you?

• Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Moscow.
• Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
• Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Venice 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 misled by Alitalia's vague terms: a "spontaneous" or declared strike is the operational burden of the airline. Regardless of distance, the principle remains identical for strikes.

An aviation law expert can quickly determine whether the strike that disrupted your Alitalia Venice-Moscow flight was the airline's responsibility or a third party's.

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

During those long hours in the terminal at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport, know that Alitalia has a legal obligation to ensure your comfort. This covers meals, but also the option to send emails free of charge.
