Flight compensation Alitalia:
Venice — Tirana

How to be compensated by Alitalia on the Venice (VCE) - Tirana (TIA) line

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

Directive 261/2004 is clear: for 748 km of flight, the company Alitalia is subject to a compensation obligation if the delay exceeds 3 hours or 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.

Too few travelers claim their due (less than 15% on average). Don't let this compensation fly away: the procedure, although sometimes administratively heavy on the company side, is an absolute right for the consumer.

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

For an Alitalia flight from Venice to Tirana, punctuality is a performance obligation. A delay of 180 minutes triggers the right to financial compensation of 250 €.

An unexpected cancellation or a diverted flight from Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo 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 Tirana.
• 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

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 250 €.

A strike by weather services at Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport or European air traffic control is an external cause over which Alitalia has no control.

What are your rights at Venice 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 Venice.

Some passengers are unaware that transportation between the hotel and Venezia / Tessera - Marco Polo Airport terminal is also included in the legal package due by Alitalia.

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

It is not uncommon for a claim for 250 € to be automatically rejected by the company's algorithms under a fallacious generic pretext.

In the last instance, it is the summons to court that often unlocks the payment. The company Alitalia will always prefer to compromise and pay the 250 € rather than incur additional legal costs for a lost cause in court.
