Given the distance between Thessaloniki and Kalamata (392 km), CE 261 mandates a statutory payout in case of fault by All America. Short-haul routes are covered from the first tier.

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.

Did you know? Even if All America is a non-EU carrier, if the flight departs from Thessaloniki Macedonia International Airport, EU regulation applies completely.

Don't confuse ticket refund and legal compensation! Even if All America offers you a travel credit for your Thessaloniki → Kalamata flight, you can also demand the monetary compensation of 250€ provided by law.

A little-known fact: you have 5 years in France to file your claim against All America for the Thessaloniki→Kalamata flight. Don't assume it's impossible to claim if the incident was some time ago.
