All America passengers Samos-Thessaloniki: what to do to file a claim

If your flight from Samos Airport to Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport flown by All America was impacted, the law protects you when dealing with the airline.

With 463 km between Samos Airport and Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, CE 261 guarantees a lump-sum compensation of 250€ per person.

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.

Details of your right to compensation

  • Departure airport: Samos Airport (SMI)
  • Arrival airport: Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport (SKG)
  • Flight distance: 463 km (~0h35)
  • Applicable compensation: 250 €

This is by no means a commercial courtesy from All America, but a binding duty that applies to all flights subject to the scope of the directive.

How to know if the flight All America Samos - Thessaloniki is eligible?

Distinguish between fare reimbursement and statutory indemnity! Even if All America proposes a voucher for your Samos - Thessaloniki flight, you can still claim the cash sum of 250€ guaranteed by the regulation.

In the case of a flight suppression, if you were informed fewer than two weeks before your departure from Samos, the CE 261 applies equally.

What are the conditions for All America to compensate you?

  • Delay at arrival: You arrived with more than 3 hours delay at Thessaloniki.
  • Cancellation: The airline cancelled the flight less than 14 days before departure.
  • Overbooking: You were denied boarding against your will at Samos airport.
  • Airline responsibility: The problem must be attributable to All America (technical problem, sick crew, scheduling...).

Warning: Extraordinary circumstances (extreme weather preventing takeoff from Samos, air traffic controllers' strike, political instability) exempt the airline from its obligation to compensate.

The impact of a strike on your All America compensation

A work stoppage by All America's crews is considered inherent to the ordinary activity of the carrier and is no longer a valid justification to refuse the 250€.

Even if the 250€ are not payable due to an external strike at Samos, assistance (meals/hotel) stays the responsibility of All America. Keep this in mind.

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

Here is what All America owes you if your flight is delayed at Samos Airport: refreshments and food adapted to waiting time, two free communications, and a hotel night if the flight is pushed to the next day.

In case of a overnight flight delay, the regulation requires that lodging and transport to and from Samos Airport are entirely at the carrier's expense.

Steps: how to get your 250 € from All America?

It is essential to save your All America ticket and every email related to the delay at Samos Airport. These documents are vital for building your case.

This is precisely why specialists and LegalTech platforms exist. By using a specialist partner, you check your flight instantly and hand over all formalities to obtain your 250€ with peace of mind.

How long does it take to get the 250 € compensation?

The irony: the longer All America stalls paying your 250€, the more the total amount can increase with interest. Experts know this to speed up settlement.

By handing over the recovery of your 250€ to a professional service, you avoid long delays and the anxiety of seeing your case shelved, as follow-ups are handled by aviation law professionals.

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

Don't take at face value All America's email claiming that Samos's airport was blocked by snow without consulting certified METAR data.

The success rate of specialist firms against All America approaches 98% when the claim is legitimate. This proves the strength of Regulation CE 261 against unjustified refusals.
