Flight compensation Alitalia:
Venice — Paris

How to claim your money from Alitalia on Venice (VCE) → Paris (CDG)

No one enjoys being stranded in the terminal. If Alitalia didn't honour its scheduled times for your Venice - Paris flight, the law is on your side.

Regulation 261/2004 is unambiguous: for 835 km, Alitalia is held to a payout requirement 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.

Unlike what {many think|Alitalia might suggest}, this payout doesn't depend on the fare. A €30 ticket gives the same rights as an €800 booking.

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

The compensation for VCE→CDG 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.

An sudden suppression or a rerouted flight from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport without a satisfactory solution qualifies for the same 250€ indemnity.

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 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

Be wary by Alitalia's evasive wording: a "spontaneous" or planned strike remains the managerial responsibility of the airline. On this short-haul, the internal/external strike distinction is the same.

A strike by air traffic control at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport or Eurocontrol is an independent circumstance over which Alitalia cannot act.

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

Here is what Alitalia owes you during a prolonged wait at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport: drinks and snacks proportionate to the delay, the ability to call or email, and accommodation if an overnight stay is needed.

If you already paid for a hotel at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport due to Alitalia's fault, collect every receipt. You are entitled to refund of every euro spent on top of the 250€ indemnity.
